US President Donald Trump described the details of his conversation with FIFA President Gianni Infantino regarding the controversial red card of US football player Folarin Balogun.
Trump spoke to the media at the White House and said that he did not put any pressure on FIFA, but only requested a review of the decision because it was not a mistake.
According to him, the two players just collided and messed up on the field, which cannot be described as an incident worthy of giving a red card.
The president of the United States of America (USA) said that FIFA made the right and rational move by deciding to lift the suspension.

He also criticized the referee’s initial decision and said that the real issue was the decision to show the red card, but most people only talk about canceling it while the referee’s mistake is ignored.
It is worth remembering that FIFA lifted the suspension of one match for Balogan and after that he was declared eligible to play in the important match of the World Cup against Belgium.
