Though call. I can understand it, but a yellow card would also be understandable.
Nevertheless, the unsuspension is ridiculous. It was a red card after a review of the play by the VAR. Now, every team will ask for it. France is already trying to overturn Olise’s yellow card.

The argument that it shouldn't have been reviewed since there was no original card has been tossed around. I don't know how accurate that is, though if that's the case then the reversal makes a lot more sense. Honestly thought the red was warranted, though it was unfortunate - no intent, just bad luck.
But FIFA haven't done themselves any favors with this.

This was a significant undercurrent to the whole story - without getting too far into the forbidden topic, suffice it to say that Infantino REALLY likes being on Trump's good side (if you hadn't already gotten that from the 'peace prize' that was awarded last year).

I mean, he currently plays in a Basque team, so player quality is assured, just look at Oyarzabal too...
