Concerns about the World Cup’s integrity intensified after FIFA President Gianni Infantino acknowledged speaking with U.S. President Donald Trump before Folarin Balogun was cleared to face Belgium later Monday. Balogun was sent off during the United States’ match against Bosnia-Herzegovina last week, leading to a suspension for the Round of 16. Trump said he did not demand an outcome, but confirmed he called Infantino to request another look at the punishment after the U.S. won 2-0 in California. FIFA lifted Balogun’s mandatory one-game ban on Sunday, allowing him to play in Seattle, where a U.S. win would send the team into the quarterfinals. Belgium’s challenge to eligibility was dismissed shortly before kickoff. The brief also reported Wimbledon quarterfinals: Jasmine Paolini defeated Alexandra Eala 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
