I didn\u2019t think it meant much, and then I started hearing that means he can\u2019t play in the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI said, \u2018Boy, that\u2019s big.\u2019 You know, if it happened to another player, it would have been unfair, but when they take your best player\u2026 and they say you can\u2019t play, that\u2019s very unfair,\u201d Trump continued. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one thing to penalize somebody for the game, but how do you penalize them for a game that hasn\u2019t been played yet? It\u2019s very unfair; you can\u2019t do that. So, yes, I asked for a review by FIFA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s remarks came during an extended Oval Office exchange in which he also dwelled on the distinction between the terms \u201csoccer\u201d and \u201cfootball,\u201d joking about what Americans should call the sport while defending his involvement in the disciplinary dispute. <\/p>\n<p>Balogun got a red card after video showed him stepping on the ankle of a Bosnia-Herzegovina player on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump accused Claus, who has previously been accused of match fixing, of being \u201ca little bit suspect\u201d and suggested reporters dig up dirt on his past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a person that loves sports, and was a good athlete, and I understand sports really well, really well, and that wasn\u2019t a foul\u2014that wasn\u2019t even an infraction,\u201d the 80-year-old president said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was two guys running full speed that happened to crash into each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Belgium has challenged the reversal, arguing the governing body created an unprecedented exception just hours before the clash.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy has now overshadowed one of the biggest matches of the United States\u2019 World Cup campaign and has shone the spotlight on the unusually cozy relationship between the president and the FIFA boss.<\/p>\n<p>Infantino has spent years cultivating Trump as the United States prepares to co-host the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>The notorious suck-up has been a regular at the White House since Trump\u2019s return to office, appearing alongside the president at multiple events and repeatedly praising his leadership. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2948\">Barron Trump Missing From Dad\u2019s July Fourth Festivities<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He attended Trump\u2019s inauguration, accompanied him on a trip to the Middle East last year, and presented him with a personalized Club World Cup trophy in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>After Trump was denied the Nobel Peace Prize last year, Infantino even created a consolation \u201cFIFA Peace Prize\u201d and presented it to the U.S. president in a ceremony at the Kennedy Center.<\/p>\n<p>In a tacit acknowledgment of the relationship between the pair, Senator Ted Cruz, who attended Monday\u2019s Oval Office event, thanked Trump for \u201cgetting rid of that ridiculous red card,\u201d and added, \u201cthere was a reason the FIFA trophy sat here (in the White House) for as long as it did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Against that backdrop, FIFA\u2019s decision to suspend\u2014rather than enforce\u2014Balogun\u2019s automatic one-match ban has sparked outrage across the soccer world.<\/p>\n<p>UEFA accused FIFA of having \u201ccrossed a red line\u201d and warned that political intervention risks undermining the integrity of the World Cup. <\/p>\n<p>Former FIFA officials, coaches and football administrators have also questioned whether the governing body created an unprecedented exception for the tournament\u2019s co-host nation. <\/p>\n<p>The Royal Belgian Football Association said it was \u201castonished\u201d by FIFA\u2019s decision and sought clarification over how Balogun had been cleared to play. <\/p>\n<p>On Monday after Trump\u2019s comments, Infantino issued a statement acknowledging he spoke to the president and told him it would be decided by independent bodies.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>FIFA President Gianni Infantino: <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA\u2019s governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFIFA\u2019s judicial\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/FzeWuMQIXf<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 FIFA Media (@fifamedia) July 6, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cYes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA\u2019s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies.
