Sky News host James Morrow says US President Donald Trump personally contacted FIFA President Gianni Infantino to push for a review of Folarin Balogun’s red-card suspension. “Donald Trump has apparently had a hand in pushing FIFA, the World Cup people, to lift the red-card suspension of a US player,” Mr Morrow said. “A US official confirmed to the Post that Trump directly reached out to FIFA President Gianni Infantino to ask him to take a second look at US star Folarin Balogun's suspension. “I kind of love this, Trump. I don’t think he’s a big soccer fan; he’s getting on the phone to make sure they get a fair shot.”
