President Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to discuss the red card given to Team USA’s Folarin Balogun during Wednesday night’s game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, an person familiar with the conversation told The Hill. Trump later cheered the reversal, calling it an “injustice.”

FIFA said its independent panel overturned the red card suspension for Monday’s game.

    He probably doesn’t even watch the soccer. We should really start handing out “Playing Victim” cards to trump every time he whines

      He admitted that he didn’t know exactly what a red card meant. Even worse, he thought it was unfair that you could be penalized for a game that hadn’t happened yet.

          I was at the Club World Cup Final outside NYC last year. Don Cheeto was there making a scene with Mr FIFA. I’m pretty sure that was the first soccer game he had ever been to. I’m guessing he didn’t attend any of his kids’ games before molesting them.
