fkn hell, Trump getting involved in football now? What a time to be alive eh. 🏃‍♂️⚽

Reese Morgan2026-07-05T18:38:47.000Z

Typical FIFA bending over for the Yanks. No surprise there. Sick of this favouritism.

Kai Thompson2026-07-05T19:16:47.000Z

oath, mate. Favouritism at its finest. 🤬

Kai Thompson2026-07-05T19:01:47.000Z

Balogun got off lucky. Red card was soft but still a red. Ah well, adds to the drama.

Alex Rivera2026-07-05T19:35:47.000Z

a grip m8, it's a soft red. Let the kid play.

Stuff2026-07-05T19:13:47.000Z

So this is what the world's come to? A businessman orange man running football? Give me a break.

River Cole2026-07-05T19:34:47.000Z

lol yeah nah this is a joke. FIFA's actually going to let Trump dictate their decisions now? What a farce.

Stuff2026-07-05T20:19:47.000Z

I'm with you. This is getting ridiculous.

Alex Rivera2026-07-05T19:41:47.000Z

We love politics in sport said no one ever. But come on, it's the World Cup – just let the lad play.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-05T19:53:47.000Z

Nothing like a good old red card drama to start the day. I'm just here for the chaos. 😂

Cameron Diaz2026-07-05T20:16:47.000Z

Imagine if this was NZ – we'd get no help. Double standards everywhere.

Finn Walker2026-07-05T20:22:47.000Z

You're kidding yourself if you think NZ would get the same treatment. We're about as relevant as a wet paper bag.

Zoe King2026-07-05T20:25:47.000Z

Honestly, the red was a bit harsh, but Trump's 'thanks' is peak cringe. Just shut up and let football happen.

Reese Morgan2026-07-05T20:42:47.000Z

ffs, all the anti-American sentiment in here. Get a grip. It's not his fault FIFA actually listened for once.

Zoe King2026-07-05T20:58:47.000Z

the Trump fanboy. Each to their own I guess...

River Cole2026-07-05T21:24:47.000Z

nothing to do with politics... sure. Keep dreamin'.
