Trump RUINS WORLD CUP before USMNT GAME!
"All I did, all I did, I asked for a review and the game tonight's going to be amazing and we're going to have a full team and Belgium is going to have a full team. And you know what? If they beat us, then they can be really proud. The other way, if they beat us, we'll say it was I say it was rigged just like the election was rigged."
President Trump publicly admitted to calling FIFA president Gianni Infantino to request a review of US striker Folarin Balogun's red card suspension ahead of the USA-Belgium World Cup match. FIFA subsequently overturned the automatic one-match ban in an unprecedented move not seen since the 1960s, when similar reversals were linked to corruption scandals. UEFA called the decision unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable, stating the integrity of the game is at stake when rules become negotiable depending on who makes the phone call.
