I have never heard of that happening before for a standard red card. Is this a thing?
Perhaps Big Don liked him so has demanded he should be able to play. |  |

I mean, that is as blatant as it comes - incredible. Other teams should challenge that. |  |

Well, the fact that Ronaldo was hanging out at Trump's gaff with Infantino last week, the fact he is FIFA's poster boy still and the fact FIFA are as corrupt as fuuck might be important, but I really don't understand what you are implying? |  |

Infantino has already ruined the World Cup, and now barefaced corruption on top of that. |  |

I’m not sure of the O’Shea comparison as that hasn’t happened.
The disciplinary process is consistent for all for the onfield sanctions in the English game instead of an arbitrary process seen here. [Post edited 25 Nov 2025 17:09]

Infantino's not even hiding it now is he? As blatant as you can get. | |

Historically I massively look forward to World Cups, the coming together of different styles and cultures of football can provide a great spectacle, but I may well give this one a miss.
I watched most of the Qatar one despite feeling a bit ick about it, but this one may be the one that pushes me out. |  |

They're not gonna get much better after this one. |  |

Think the OP meant if O'Shea had elbowed Ronaldo instead of the other way around. | |

After it happened, I was thinking what will they do to ensure he is able to play. There’s no way Infantino will let him sit it out.
But it is still remarkable to read that.
Fraud and corruption is completely inherent with FIFA. There’s not even any pretence. |  |

Indeed, I can’t disagree with that. The arbitrary process of disciplinary sanctions is inconsistent for UEFA and FIFA matches. My point stands that regardless of the situation or player violent conduct is three matches regardless in English games. | | | |

Bad for the integrity of the game (plus ca change) and ironically bad for Portugal; when they have to spend their group games passing it to Ronaldo so he can sky shots from 35 yards |  | | |
