I don't follow much soccer but I know every other sport has an arbitration process where a player is given a chance to challenge his suspension and the governing body can determine if his (or his representatives) argument is just.

I do think every player should be granted a review process on suspensions just like other sports. Referees make poor judgement calls all the time. Maybe this will lead to a change in the sport where arbitrary rule by one individual (the ref) doesn't decide the outcome of future matches that they aren't even officiating. We have seen a lot of betting scandals in sports lately. This could definitely lead to corruption. The ref could give a red card to Messi if he wants to ensure he doesn't play the next game so he can bet against Argentina. That seems like a major flaw in the system of maintaining integrity in the game.

I am impartial in this. I live in Canada. I don't care if the US wins or not. I think red card one game suspensions in tournament play without review is kind of stupid.
