Foreign fans are hotly discussing that Cristiano Ronaldo s suspension will be suspended: FIFA is shameless, is it a blessing or a curse for Portugal?

Multiple media reported last night that FIFA has made a decision on punishment for Cristiano Ronaldo's straight red card against Ireland. He will be suspended for 3 games, but 2 games will be suspended. This also means that Cristiano Ronaldo will not miss Portugal's World Cup next year because of this red card.

As soon as the news came out, it triggered widespread heated discussion among foreign fans:

The comments section of the "Times" report on the matter:

Fan 1: As an Irishman, I personally feel that the red card was too severe, because judging from the slow-motion replay, Ronaldo did not seem to have touched the Irish defender at all. He was just trying to break away from the opponent's repeated pulling of his jersey. But the decision (by FIFA) sucks. They are such a disgusting organization.

Fan 2: Naked corruption, nothing more. FIFA under Infantino have made it clear that they don't care how blatant their actions are. They think they are safe, which they almost certainly are.

Fan 3: This kind of thing will always happen. FIFA has no shame.

Fan 4: This forgiveness is a heavy blow to Portugal's chances. Portugal will get better when Ronaldo retires. A bit like Liverpool's Salah this season.

Fan 5: Well, indeed the rules allow them to do this. I would say it makes FIFA look bad, but to be honest they started a long time ago and stopped caring what other people think of them.

TA's report on this matter in the comment area

Fan 6: So shocked! Before this, I originally thought highly of FIFA.

Fan 7: "When you are a star, they will let you do this. You can do anything..."

Fan 8: Now it has reached the point where people have to admire FIFA: "We can do whatever we want, because no one will say a bad word."

Fan 9: Now the Portuguese coach must decide whether to let him play. He lost the opportunity to say "I was going to let him play, but...".
