If Gianni Infantino...

who oversees the whole FIFA thing, and he'll say, oh, I left this to the disciplinary committee nonsense.

Let's be honest about it.

He's already shown that with the Club World Cup and the extension of the amount of teams at the World Cup.

They have made a mockery of their own disciplinary process here.

A mockery.

A complete sham.

Right?

They've made a... And what they're saying to referees and officials are, like, you know...

Maybe you shouldn't send off the big stars.

Maybe just keep it to the guys under the radar and we don't have to brush it under the carpet.

We don't have to have these problems.

We don't want these issues because we want the big stars at these major tournaments.

We don't want to discipline them.

It's all about the product.

At the end of the day, when have you ever known a player being sent off for violent conduct?

I've never known that happening, a player getting any sort of probationary period.

Unless I'm missing something, it's a three-game ban and that's it.

You can't give somebody a three-game ban and say, I tell you what, you've served a ban, I've two off, as long as you don't do it again.
