🗣️ Gary Lineker: "It's an appalling decision from FIFA." Gary & Brad Friedel comment on Balogun's red card being overturned

@GaryLineker Finally a sensible take from an ex player. Landon, Lalas, Stu can all fck off with their biased ass takes

@GaryLineker Phil Mitchell's right but at least it means we do get to see the best version of each team. Hopefully Infantino will pay the price at the next Fifa election.

I still have no idea why this was a red card. So many times this same play has been made in the WC without even a yellow given. It was not with intent. Also, it's not the US Team's fault it was overturned. I'm sure Belgium is so honorable they wouldn't play one of their top players in the same situation...🤣🤣

@SamMonsonNFL @GaryLineker Any comment from these two about Ronaldo’s suspended ban just prior to the tournament and Starmer’s influence on the kickoff time for yesterday’s England match?

@GaryLineker Imagine labeling an act that overturns an unjust referee decision as ‘corruption’.

@GaryLineker They made the mistake while using VAR you retards!

@GaryLineker I mean, next World Cup will be in a place where the crown prince ordered a journalist to be killed and sawed up. So idk how pure this sport is

@GaryLineker It’s a joke! The Orange prick thinks he can do anything, this needs to be sorted.

@GaryLineker 🚨🚨🚨@GaryLineker I didn't see your post about Ronaldo getting the same treatment earlier in the tournament.

@GaryLineker

@GaryLineker No one wanted us to beat Belgium except Portugal and Spain 😆

@GaryLineker Brad Friedel has totally impressed me as a commentator this world cup. He gets the game and what it means to the world, not just one country. This comment earns him even more respect.

@GaryLineker If I was Pochetino , I would rest Balogun for the game entirely, this purely to save the sanctity of football from Trump.

@GaryLineker When he says, "that's why VAR is there," it suggests he is unaware that no penalty was called on the field before VAR review and that VAR was therefore used improperly.

@GaryLineker Quansah's red card too must be suspended. He didn't mean to do a malicious tackle. His foot bounced off the ball and hit the shin.

@GaryLineker need to suspend at least 2 of the French yellow cards now because if they miss a game later because those horrible bookings its unfair

@GaryLineker all cards should be looked at. if they are wrong(like in this case) then overturn the suspension. not crazy at all

@GaryLineker Nobody is forcing balogun to play. Just don't play and you have the moral high ground again.

@GaryLineker It's simply corruption. Basically, what makes the world go around these days!

@GaryLineker Is that Phil Mitchell?

@GaryLineker Help me to bring him to the UK for new legs by highlighting his case please Gary .

@GaryLineker How’d they feel when Jude had his suspended?

@GaryLineker FIFA has made far worse decisions.

@GaryLineker Gary Lineker and England robbed Cameroon in the 1990 World Cup. He seems to have gotten over that one.

@GaryLineker Lmao. Cry harder

@GaryLineker

@GaryLineker Infantino must be sacked US could be technically Expelled for this Beg Wenger to take over !

@GaryLineker Fair play to Friedel

@GaryLineker I tried to concentrate on what was being said during the podcast and wanted to offer my view, but was too distracted by THE WORST TATTOOS OF ALL TIME . Maybe I’ll just catch the audio only version instead. 😂

@GaryLineker how much did gary pay you brad?

@GaryLineker Where this clip from when Ronaldo got the same treatment?

@GaryLineker .@jeroenscholte50 fyi Lineker en brad beide eens dat ref fout maakte en fout dat fifa nu aanpast.

@GaryLineker All these arguments are couched around “red card probably shouldn’t have been given” but then say “the honorable thing is to accept a bad decision”. In the end, a player gets to play that shouldn’t have been suspended in the first place.

@GaryLineker I can understand Americans wanting to find a way to trivialise this or support it, but the implications of it could be dire for the sport. A horrible precedent to set.

@GaryLineker Infantino needs to go.
