President Donald Trump is taking credit for getting FIFA to review a red card issued at the World Cup against the United States’ star forward but says he did not demand an outcome.

Egypt's 2-0 World Cup lead vanished in a 3-2 loss to Argentina following highly controversial VAR calls, a denied Salah penalty, and Lionel Messi's late game-winning masterclass.

President Donald Trump said Monday that he personally asked FIFA chief Gianni Infantino to review the decision to give a red card and one-game ban to Team USA star striker Folarin Balogun — a remarkable intervention that sparked a torrent of controversy at the World Cup.

GENEVA (AP) — An all-time controversy in the World Cup’s 96-year history was raging Monday ahead of the co-host United States and forward Folarin Balogun facing Belgium with a quarterfinals place at stake.

England head coach Thomas Tuchel didn't hold back with his thoughts about the poor refereeing after a World Cup win over Mexico.

FIFA suspended Folarin Balogun's one-match ban, making the USMNT striker eligible for Monday's World Cup Round of 16 match against Belgium.
