The drama deepened with Folarin Balogun’s suspended red card, which let him stay in the game and reportedly angered some, especially after Trump allegedly called FIFA’s president. Meanwhile, key U.S. staff like manager Sam Zapatka and security VP Frank Pannell vanished during the match — and the U.S. lost, getting eliminated. FIFA’s vague reasoning points to officials being in the wrong place during a prior Bosnia game, and U.S. Soccer confirmed it’s unrelated to Balogun’s suspension. Still, the coach stayed classy, blaming Belgium’s superior play — a tough exit wrapped in controversy. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
