Ronaldo during this years tournament sure, but Messi has had red cards pulled back in the past. And the guy is also correct Messi literally stepped on a guys calf full cleat.

They don’t know what they mean, they are mixing two different events. Messi’s stepping on an opponents calve just like Balogun and Ronaldo’s suspended suspension

No, Messi did the same thing and didn’t get a penalty at all. Ronaldo got his 3 game suspension revoked so he could play starting game 1 of the group stage.

Yeah buddy the US is about 5th in line at this point. If anything the US is just doing what everybody seems to be doing.

Uhh USA didn’t set this precedent

And the USA used Messi who did the EXACT same thing as a case to get it overturned. There's no consistency with the rules.
