Our bad defense that's coming off a shutout?
both players were jockeying for position. I don't want our players to be less aggressive because bad officiating might happen.YokelRidesAgain said:
In all honesty, Balogun needs to be smarter than that.
…
US appeared to have the game under control and don't need to be that aggressive in that moment.

The center ref didn't see a serious foul play when it happened. The fourth official had to tell him to look at var because of an obvious mistake or possible red card. The fourth official had to look at it in slo-mo to notify him of that and then the center ref had to look at it in slo-mo to see it. But when you see the studs rake the back of the leg and land on the foot in slo-mo, he couldn't unsee it. He felt compelled to acknowledge serious foul play.
Why did another ref give Messi the Michael Jordan treatment for the same thing? You all know why.

What did I say that was not true? I even said that the Seattle's video would have been cool. The DC video was a lame "celebration." No one was going crazy which is weird.
You are literally the worst poster I've seen on this site in multiple threads. So I'll see myself out.

According to this, VAR shouldn't be using slo mo or still images as part of their recommendation.

But that's the problem. In slow motion in looks bad. In real life it looks and more importantly is 2 guys going for a ball and happen to step in the same place. The Bosnia player steps first and becomes the stepped on player. Messi's no call is in fact much worse than this. Messi was late to the challenge.

Belgium's offense has looked pretty anemic apart from the last 45 minutes against a tired Senegal team. US needs to party like it's 1999 US soccer, make sure they are solid defensively and swipe a goal or two off of counters and set pieces. Ending up in penalties would not be a terrible outcome, given the circumstances.

We beat Belgium, even without Balogun. Belgium needed a complete collapse from Senegal. They've looked bad the entire tournament. We are the better team right now, with or without Balogun.
I wish I shared your confidence.
Balogun has been the majority of our offensive threat. Not sure anyone picks up that slack against a good Belgian defense.
Hope Pepi can have the game of his freaking life Monday!
