Referee Controversy in Sports Match

But I've never seen anything like it.

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 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.

Even people on the other side, they say,

oh, we got lucky, wow.

And it's very interesting.

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

and I never realized that.

I'd 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, 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's 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.
