"Donald Trump has proudly boasted that he rings up Giani Infantino, the head of FIFA several times. And he says to him, Look, this is wrong. This call was wrong. He shouldn't have got the red card. Therefore, he shouldn't be suspended. Therefore, you should look at this again. and Infantina seems to have rolled over, changed the rules specifically for the American superstar in America's World Cup."
President Donald Trump personally called FIFA president Gianni Infantino multiple times to overturn a red card suspension for U.S. player Balagan during the World Cup hosted in America. Infantino confirmed receiving the call and allowed an unprecedented appeals process that did not previously exist, enabling Balagan to play despite the suspension. The panel criticizes FIFA for corrupting the sport's integrity by creating different standards for the host nation's star player.
