Referee Controversy in Sports Match

So I saw the play, and I'm a person that loves sports and was a good athlete, and I understand

sports really well, really well.

And that wasn't a foul.

That wasn't even an infraction.

That was two guys running full speed that happened to crash into each other.

You can't take your foot and properly place it on somebody else's foot when you're going

— no.

These were two great athletes that got tangled up.

And this referee, who is a little bit suspect, if you check his — if you check his past

— I don't want to say that because I don't like to create controversy — but very suspect.

If you'd like, I'll provide you with the past.

He made a call that nobody could believe.

You know, even people on the other side, they said, oh, we got lucky.

Wow, that's — and it's very interesting.

They say they don't show them in slow motion.

And I never realized that.

I never heard of that before, that they're not allowed to review in slow motion because

it's so different.

Because you'll take one little quarter of a second, and you'll see that a hand is touching

a neck or you'll see something.

Whereas when you see it in fast motion, it will look like two guys collided, which is

really what happened.

They got sort of entangled.

He didn't do anything wrong.

And he's our best player, or one of our best players — a very vital player.

And he gave him a red card.

I didn't know what that meant.

I didn't think it meant much.

Then I started hearing that that means he can't play in the next game — at least in

the next game.

I said, boy, that's a big — you know, if it happened to another player — it would

have been unfair.

But when they take your best player, or just about — they have some great players, but

— and they say you can't play.

That's very unfair.

That's — you know, it's one thing to penalize somebody for the game, but how do you penalize

them for a game that hasn't been played yet?

It's very unfair.

You can't do that.

So, yes, I asked for a review by FIFA.

I spoke to a man who is highly respected — and, by the way, whose level of respect has gone

up tenfold.

And he was good before this started.

But, you know, he really pushed it in this country.

I'm the one that got them to do it.

It was not Biden.

Biden was asleep.

I got them to do it.

In fact, it was very sad because I got them to do it.

And if the progression was normal, I would have been retired now.

The Democrats are saying, man, we should have just let him have his way.

He would have — we would have had him gone.

But I said, you know, the saddest thing is I got the Olympics and I got the World Cup.
