Integrity of the World Cup is questioned after FIFA and President Donald Trump weighed in on a U.S. player’s suspension involving Folarin Balogun. FIFA President Gianni Infantino acknowledged taking a call from Trump before Balogun was cleared to play against Belgium on Monday. Balogun had been issued a red card in the U.S. match versus Bosnia-Herzegovina last week, leading to a suspension for the Belgium game. Trump called Infantino after the Bosnia match to plead his case to overturn the decision, and FIFA lifted the suspension on Sunday. European soccer leaders criticized the handling, intensifying scrutiny of FIFA’s governance as other World Cup-related coverage continued.
