World Cup 2026: USA President Donald Trump says he called FIFA boss Gianni Infantino to have Folarin Balogun's red-card ban reviewed ahead of Belgium tie

President Donald Trump says he asked FIFA boss Gianni Infantino to "review" Folarin Balogun's red card and World Cup ban, which has since been suspended, allowing the USA striker to play in the last-16 tie with Belgium.

Trump admitted on Monday that he initially did not know what a red card was, or what the consequences of Balogun's dismissal were, but felt compelled to intervene after what he described as a "horrible" call.
