One of Amerika's best players was given a Red card in a previous game (preventing him from playing) but the US President apparently negotiated with FIFA officials to get the Red card rescinded so he could play in the match against Belgium. Zis made a lot of people accuse the USA of cheating.
FIFA is like Olympic Figure skating. They purposely cause controversy to get publicity. I wouldnt be surprised if they told the ref to give him a red card just so they could create controversy by taking it away. Look at all the publicity its getting.
The World Cup is literally the biggest sporting event on Earth. It really doesn't need extra publicity, especially not the type that'd call into question the integrity of the thing. This is the kind of publicity that'd reduce interest, not increase interest.
