The reversal of Folarin Balogun’s World Cup suspension is highly unusual. It was the first time since 1962 that FIFA has nullified a suspension for a red card received during the World Cup.

Can ever other country do this and expect the same treatment if not still not cool?
They fucking should. If it’s a bullshit red card, it should 100% be reviewed and removed.
It was a bs red but no politician should be able to influence the sport like that. It ruins any credibility the event might have had
I see the flaw in your assumption
What is there to review? There’s an entire team with VAR who already decided that dismissal was proportional to the misconduct. That’s how it works.
And if you haven’t already realized it, FIFA only cares about money, so of course they did this, so the event is more “exciting” for the advertisers. It’s pure corruption.
