Folarin Balogun received a red card for USA on Wednesday evening in a game against Bosnia & Herzegovina, with Lionel Messi making a similar challenge earlier in the tournament and not even receiving a yellow card. Host Piers Morgan suggests there is a clear favoritism for the big stars compared to others and that's why Messi was not sent off. Former England captain John Terry however believes neither were red cards and though there is clear inconsistency in the decisions, there is not a bias from the referees towards the Argentinian forward. Co-host Simon Jordan slams John for this take, saying it is 'disingenuous' to suggest referees do not have preconceived bias when stepping onto the pitch.
