Donald Trump dictates, FIFA executes. FIFA has suspended the red card received by American player Folarin Balogun / Donald Trump: "Thank you FIFA for doing what is right and correcting a great injustice"

Folarin Balogun will be able to play for the USA in the match in the round of 16 of the World Cup against Belgium, after his one-match suspension, received due to a red card, was lifted. The 25-year-old player received a direct red card in the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina for a foul on defender Tarik Muharemovic.

Although the US Soccer Federation did not have the right to contest the red card according to FIFA rules, FIFA decided to allow Balogun to play in the Americans' next match.

In a social media post, President Donald Trump praised FIFA's decision. "Thank you FIFA for doing what was right and correcting a great injustice!" wrote President Trump.

Belgium's coach, Rudi Garcia, surprised by the suspension of the red card given to American Folarin Balogun - which was to prevent him from playing on Monday in the round of 16 of the World Cup against the "Red Devils" - reacted with irony to FIFA's decision on Sunday evening.

"I didn't know that July 5 corresponds to April 1 at FIFA," said the French coach at the pre-match press conference.
