And I think the reason for that is, and it's what we've seen in the Premier League, is that when you try to have a higher bar on things, it's far more difficult to get that subjective point, which we were just talking about, where you've got...
30 different VARs in rotation and they've all got to try and find the same subjective bar and managing to do that is really nearly impossible and the reason why it sometimes looks better in things like the Champions League who have an intervention every other game is because they get involved in so much that looks consistent because there's not so much opinion going on from the person sat in the VAR room so I think it's just it's better to try and have a lighter touch but it makes it much more difficult and much more controversial.
So there's no actual route to appeal, as should have been the case for the United States as well, of course.
So you can't blame everyone chancing their arm.
Obviously, in the case of France, they're scared that Alissé will get a yellow card in the quarterfinal and miss the semifinal.
And England want a chance of their arm of getting Kwanzaa available for the next two games, which is very unlikely to happen.
But the FIFA have created this situation themselves by the absolutely ludicrous situation where they have gone back on their own rules to change the way the whole process works and how we know it works.
That when you get sent off in a World Cup or any tournament, be that the Champions League,
or the Euros or the World Cup, you miss the next game.
And because they've gone back on that, because of, let's be honest, some intervention from Donald Trump, then it just creates this situation whereby, why shouldn't anybody think that they also have the right to get their player available or to avoid this risk of suspension?
So I think anyone that's got interdiction now is going to raise potential appeals.
There's another thing.
Serious foul players are two-match ban.
So in the case of Balogun, he should have got two games, but they only gave him a one-match ban suspended.
So why didn't he get two games?
That hasn't been explained either.
The FIFA disciplinary code says at least two matches for that.
Hi there.
Yes, it is.
Well, yeah, I mean, if we go back to the start, how long have we got really?
