    It was not a bad call, and it was not overturned.

    The cheating USA player committed a foul and still has the red card for that. The cheating USA player still has the red card, but in an unprecedented move the suspension is deferred. Because the USA cannot compete at an international tournament without resorting to cheating.

    This would not have happened without the United States being an openly corrupt nation, and this will taint every game that the United States team ever plays in the future.

      Most people seemed to agree it should have been a yellow card because he wasn’t capable of seeing what he was doing. Careless vs malicious.

      But these reviews do happen in the premier and euro leagues. Just FIFA hasn’t done it before. And we all know fifa is a shit show anyway, now we just have more Trump induced proof of it.
