Put he cleats in the back of another player apparently (I don’t watch soccer):

I think the “FIFA” soccer officials were thinking “If the USA’s team is eliminated then our revenue/income for the rest of the games (& championship in NJ) will be severely impacted...so we officially “un-redcard him””.

I didn’t see it, but my son explained. He said they both were going after the ball and their legs got tangled up. There was no call or foul in real time by a ref. Later, (much later, after the game iirc) the slow motion showed the American’s cleats scraping the legs (ankles?) of the opponent. My son was pissed, saying that the rules don’t allow using slow motion, and that regardless, it was unintentional.
