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.

    it dose not matter if it was an accident… he could have injured the player… either they are in control or they are just flailing out there like any one of us could

    the usa is a fucking joke… fifa is a fucking joke… soccer is a great sport and these two loser entities are just making everything they touch worthless…

      Except it does matter. Reckless unintentional fouls are still a yellow card.

      I’m not going to disagree about either the US (government) in general or FIFA in specific though.
