Trump admits contacting FIFA to overturn Balogun's suspension

President Trump admitted on Monday that he contacted FIFA to overturn the suspension of US striker Flo Balogun ahead of the Round of 16 game against Belgium.

Trump stated he intervened because he believes the foul wasn't a foul, describing it as two athletes crashing into each other. He criticized the referee, suggesting the official is "suspect" and noting that FIFA exercised its broad discretion to wipe out the automatic one-game ban.

The suspension had been set to keep Balogun out of the crucial knockout stage match, but it was overturned. Trump defended the move by claiming the incident was not a foul or infraction. sportbet.reviews
