President Donald Trump says he ask FIFA chief Gianni Infantino to review the red card given to US soccer star Folarin Balogun. Trump says the striker did not commit a foul against Bosnia and Herzegovina. “All I did, I asked for a review, because I didn’t think it was a foul. And, you know, again, I’m good at this stuff. I didn’t think it was a foul. I thought it was two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled,” Trump told reporters Monday in the Oval Office. FIFA overturned the suspension of Balogun, who is now allowed to play in the Monday night match against Belgium.
