President Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to discuss the red card given to Team USA’s Folarin Balogun during Wednesday night’s game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, an person familiar with the conversation told The Hill. Trump later cheered the reversal, calling it an “injustice.”

FIFA said its independent panel overturned the red card suspension for Monday’s game.

    The best thing that could happen is the team refuses to play. By continuing to play, you are part of the problem.

      Yup, that’s what Belgium should do now, before the game. Pack up their shit and fly back home, not even play the game.

      What are they going to do if Trump comes on to take an 89th-minute penalty? (ok yes yes Courtois, still)
