President Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to discuss the red card given to Team USA’s Folarin Balogun during Wednesday night’s game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, an person familiar with the conversation told The Hill. Trump later cheered the reversal, calling it an “injustice.”

FIFA said its independent panel overturned the red card suspension for Monday’s game.

    I kind of want to see the US win the world cup thanks to interferences like this from pedohitler. I’ve been saying that the FIFA is a corrupt organisation for a while and everyone has dismissed it by saying that it’s not true. Well, here you have proof, now what?

    Let’s hope we see more of this in the next games; this world cup was a farce from the beginning, so cheating is just something that was bound to happen.

      Everyone being so mad that the US wins that they just end fifa entirely? That would be hilarious. Let’s make this happen.
