Report: Trump contacted FIFA three times to overturn Balogun's suspension
According to The Guardian, US President Donald Trump placed three phone calls to FIFA in an effort to remove the one-match suspension handed to American forward Folarin Balogun. Balogun had been ejected during a match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, which would have forced him to sit out the upcoming game against Belgium. FIFA eventually reversed the ban, clearing Balogun to participate in the Belgium match. Belgium officials argued that this move went against established World Cup regulations.
