"A minimum automatic suspension of one match following a red card is not a discretionary option and does not require the decision of a competent body to be enacted.
When the certainty of rules is no longer guaranteed by its guardians, the integrity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined.
Equally, such decision creates a precedent in the ongoing tournament, where similar situations will now require an equal treatment, to the detriment of the competition.
We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision."
Jeg kan læse mig til at de “accepterer” FIFAs afgørelse. Hvor storsindet.

Men fedt tilgengæld, at UEFA siger fra:

Det er godt at UEFA siger fra. Infantino og FIFA under hans ledelse ødelægger sporten.
Heldigvis slog Belgierne USA noget så fornemt, ikke engang med deres bedste spiller uretmæssigt på banen, kunne de stille noget op mod de røde djævle.
Skønt.
Og med en 4-1… Nærmest karma. Det sgu godt
