Trump Phones FIFA to Suspend a U.S. Player's Red-Card Ban, and Japan Cries Foul
FIFA granted a one-year 'stay' on the suspension of U.S. forward Folarin Balogun's red card, clearing him to play against Belgium in the Round of 16, after President Trump personally phoned FIFA chief Infantino to seek a review. Japanese netizens condemned the blatant political interference as 'open match-fixing' and 'the worst World Cup in history,' venting deep distrust of FIFA as a money-driven, corrupt body.
