Summary
Folarin Balogun, U.S. soccer star, received a red card after stepping on an opponent’s ankle — a call initially missed but later overturned by VAR. President Trump intervened, calling FIFA President Infantino and criticizing the original decision as “horrible,” insisting he only sought a second look, not a specific outcome. Despite FIFA’s usual no-appeal policy for red cards, Balogun was unexpectedly cleared to play — a move that sparked controversy, especially after Belgium claimed they weren’t consulted. Trump praised the reversal, calling it brilliant and saying it would’ve been a stain on the tournament, while emphasizing it was just a collision between athletes.
