This red card business is just a microcosm of American cultural viewpoint that any act done by America is an innately righteous act because America does it

An awful despicable culture

This is the default response to open corruption by most of American pundit class - Wiesenthal, Silver, etc. Detached, cynical quips. None of these people reacted to the massive scale of insider trading revealed just days ago. This is how a nation rots.

      The referee gives you a red card if you commit a severe foul (there are specific rules about what qualifies, but that’s outside the scope of this comment).

      If you get a red card, you are kicked out of the game immediately, your team plays the rest of the game without you nor any replacement for you, and you are not allowed to play the next game (but your team will have the usual 11 players).

      The deal is that Trump called FIFA (an extremely corrupt organization) and asked for an appeal for a US team player who got a red card in the last game. FIFA has rescinded the red card so that player will be available for the next game. Trump has just been blatantly talking about this in the media, just being like “doesn’t seem fair that he should miss the next game for something that happened in the last one…” As though everyone needed his opinion on whtheer red cards are fair or not. I guess FIFA cared though
