Red card was bullshit, hopefully rescinded by FIFA. Still won, and Belgium is full of old men.
Yeah that red card was complete crap.  Really hope to see it rescinded on appeal.

Yeah, that's not a thing.  No appeals.  No corrections.

It was funny to see the youtube live simulcasts of the game, where they can't show it, but they do play-by-play and have graphics and stuff.  They spent the whole time explaining rules to all the American fans watching.  And then after the red card, explaining all about that and then directing the viewers to focus on the game at hand and stop worrying about the next game.  Up only 1 and a man down, they had to keep encouraging them to focus on the game being played.

Our soccer IQ as a country is sub-80.

It IS a thing in professional league soccer like the EPL, and even USA's coach Pochettino speculated after the match about a possible appeal.  A red card suspension is obviously a seriously punitive penalty, which is why the appeals process exists in professional soccer.

That it doesn't exist in World Cup international play is disappointing but not surprising.
