Mbappé’s reaction came after Celeste Amarilla attacked the Real Madrid superstar in the wake of Saturday’s game in Philadelphia, a bad-tempered affair which France won 1-0. “Mrs Celeste Amarilla, you are a despicable woman and not worthy of your position,” Mbappé wrote on X. “You do not represent Paraguay, the country that has sweated passion and honour throughout the competition. “Through your lack of awareness and your uninhibited racism, the entire world has already forgotten your team’s run and historic effort at this World Cup,” he added. Amarilla racially abused Mbappé and in another post called him a “colonised Cameroonian who has really pretended to be French, embittered, nouveau riche, arrogant and ugly”, and accused him of being “scared to d...

“FIFA Have ‘Crossed A Red Line’ In Suspending Balogun’s Red Card Ban” – UEFA

-
Image
  UEFA has strongly criticised FIFA’s shock decision not to uphold Folarin Balogun’s automatic ban at this World Cup, calling it “unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable”. The United States striker, Folarin Balogun, who was sent off against Bosnia-Herzegovina, should have served a suspension for the last-16 tie against Belgium (Tuesday 01:00). But World Cup organisers FIFA opted not to enforce an immediate sanction on the 25-year-old, meaning the co-hosts’ leading goalscorer will be available to play.  UEFA said intervening to effectively cancel a suspension at a tournament “crossed a red line”. Of the 188 other red cards at the World Cup, only one other player has escaped a suspension—Brazil’s Garrincha in 1962, before automatic bans were in place and shrouded in allegations of political interference. It was gathered that Balogun’s reinstatement came after the United States President, Donald Trump called FIFA President, Gianni Infantino on Thursday and spoke about t...
