Football is sacred and should not be tainted by politics! 🤯🔥 One phone call was enough for FIFA to forgive Folarin Balogun’s sending-off. 📞
Donald Trump thought he could use his power to pull FIFA’s strings and save the team from a card, but fate and the Belgium national team gave them the dirtiest and most painful reality check in their history.
Gianni Infantino admitted it bluntly: he speaks “regularly” with Donald Trump about the World Cup.
The Belgian Federation called the decision “stupefying”, and UEFA spoke of an “incomprehensible” violation of the rules.
But the pitch had the final say. Belgium crushed the United States 4-1 in Seattle, with a brace from Charles De Ketelaere and the finishing touch from Romelu Lukaku, who celebrated by pointing toward the box. Balogun, the pardoned player, barely touched the ball 19 times.
Social media is in a total bloodbath: football purists are celebrating that the “cheating” ended in a historic thrashing, while the president’s defenders are dying of rage.
Was it divine justice or bad luck?
