What was said
"The moment you take away the ability for everyone have to have the same standard, you're into the territory of corrupting the sport. If kama I mean everyone would ignore karmama's call but if kama were to phone up or someone of let's say a paraguayan president was to phone up FIFA and say I would like to have a discussion about these this particular circumstances they'd have got a go for multiply response."
Media personality Simon Jordan strongly criticized FIFA for allowing an appeals process for U.S. player Balagan that doesn't exist for other nations, arguing smaller countries would never receive the same treatment. He holds FIFA entirely accountable rather than Trump, stating the organization has corrupted football by creating different standards based on political influence and comparing it to the Vatican operating as a nation-state.
