"Yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man who's highly respected. I didn't think it was a foul. I thought it was two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled. That was not a guy punching somebody in the face or anything that, you know, would be different. And I think it's a terrible — if they wouldn't allow, you know, a top player maybe the best, maybe among the best players on the team to play, I think it would have had a big stain. And I related just that field. I didn't tell him what to do. I can't tell him what to do, but — and I don't believe he made the decision. I think it was a committee that made the decision. And they made the right decision because, number one, it wasn't a foul. And you want to see a game with your best players. I think the referee's call was horrible. And nobody talks about that. They talk about the red card like it's fine. Nobody talks about it. The referee's decision to red card — I didn't know what the hell a red card was. When I found out, I said, you got to be kidding. 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.

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 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. 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 —"
