‘Not helpful’ – English Referee Chief weighs in on Donald Trump intervening in World Cup red card incident‎

USMNT striker Folarin Balogun had a red card suspended during the 2026 World Cup after The White House made a call to FIFA. Balogun was sent off in the Round of 32 against Bosnia and Herzegovina and should have been banned for one game, which would have meant he missed the Round of 16 tie versus Belgium.
