Trump admits lobbying FIFA over Balogun suspension

Donald Trump confirmed he made three calls to FIFA to lobby for the reversal of Balogun's suspension. The former US president's intervention allowed the striker, who received a red card in England's win over Bosnia, to play in the last-16 match against Belgium. UEFA has accused FIFA of 'crossing a red line' over the decision, with the Belgian FA reportedly 'astonished' by the intervention. Meanwhile, England defeated Mexico 2-3 and will face Norway in the quarter-final, with Henderson out of the tournament. liveiplscore.homes
