Gary Neville just couldn’t help himself. Sitting there itching... to criticise the US and Trump over the FIFA decision on Folarin Balogun’s one-game ban, he lands a cheap dig at the host nation: “I’d be absolutely raging if I was Belgium… Are we surprised? No. Not with this lot.” “This lot”? That’s not just criticising FIFA. By lumping the hosts as “this lot”, he’s lazily painting the entire country and its team with the same brush over a governing body decision. This is the very nation that welcomed him to America as a pundit to cover the tournament. Disrespectful doesn’t even cover it. And the hypocrisy is glaring. The exact same mechanism (FIFA suspending part of a red-card ban under Article 27) was used for Cristiano Ronaldo after his elbow in World Cup qualifying. He served one match and the rest was put on probation so he could play the tournament. Where was Neville’s outrage then? 🦗 Same rule. Same “special treatment”, but no outrage from Neville. 🤔show more
