Belgians formally challenge Balogun decision
A rush of Belgian politicians, European sporting officials and EU leadership have questioned the White House’s role in the disciplinary judgment.

Trump called but said he only asked for a review not a particular outcome.
He doesn't even know soccer. He said when first saw it looked like players got entangled. Said history of referee involved was suspect(not explained).
Said can penalize game in but to penalize in game not yet played very unfair. Well that is the rule for red card. You have to sit out next game

However, the president rebuffed the idea that his talks with Infantino influenced the decision, even as the FIFA president has cozied up to Trump during his second term — showering him in compliments and creating a new “peace prize” that he awarded Trump ahead of the tournament.

“All I did was ask for a review,” Trump said. “I didn’t say that you have to do this.”

The comments come after a slate of other nations’ soccer federations panned the decision, with the European Commission demanding “fair play and transparent competition” in sports. Belgian officials, whose country will play against the U.S. today, expressed intense consternations and have formally challenged the ruling.

Trump on Monday described his reaction to the initial game call as confused. He characterized the collision between Balogun and Tarik Muharemović as the two players being “sort of entangled” and, upon learning that a red card would bar Balogun from suiting up for the U.S.’s match against Belgium, thought it was “unfair.”

“It is one thing to penalize somebody for the game,” Trump said. “But how do you penalize him for a game that hasn’t been played yet? It’s very unfair, you can’t do that.”

That is known as, corruption.

Those 2 Siberian Huskies I saw at college about week ago on Sunday were up there this morning when I went in front of Challenger
One walked in when somebody opened door.  Other stayed out.
Probably had no idea one came in right behind them
One had a collar.
They put it online and found owners now

Well good news and bad news.
At least cooler today. Weather Channel says high 82 I think maybe mid 80s
  I have no central air today. Not even a little bit but little had couldn't make too much difference he didn't think.
 I do not have to get all new duct work.
Coil in crawlspace covered with cat hair and froze up bad. He showed me picture. No way to knock it off until off 12-24 hours, clean coil and then check refrigerant on unit. Said hard to check right now.
So paid $290 today and coming back tomorrow. Said I could knock it off. I'd rather they did and clean it and check coolant a lot better than $6,200 Appalachian wanting saying all new duct work which probably wouldn't be bad but not what caused no air get through.

Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on House Oversight, just put the Trump sons' Pentagon windfall on the record: "his sons are cashing in on defense contracts funded by hardworking taxpayers."

He's forcing an inspector general to investigate.
