Trump, White House Add Political Fire to Balogun Red Card Reversal
sports.yahoo.com
The Folarin Balogun red card saga has officially gone from soccer controversy to full-blown World Cup political drama. According to reports, the White House made a direct call to FIFA asking president Gianni Infantino to review Balogun’s red card before the United States’ Round of 16 match against Belgium. FIFA later suspended Balogun’s automatic one-match…

So… after the ridiculous peace prize trump is now even forcing FIFA to manipulate the game in their favour.

If Europe had any balls we would just go home and start a new organisation to replace the corrupt FIFA. We should have never even accepted to play in trumpistan

      I think this is what I was really asking.

      How can Trump actually help? he can’t put balls in the goal.

      Yes I get that he can bend FIFA to his will in so far as red cards, but surely that can only really help to an extent.
