🚨BREAKING: Sen. Ted Cruz just thanked Trump for intervening with FIFA to overturn Folarin Balogun’s red card.
Political interference is a violation of FIFA’s statutes and carries serious consequences including permanent EXPULSION from FIFA competitions.
🚨 JUST IN: Jürgen Klopp reacted to Donald Trump and Gianni Infantino:
"They don't understand football and need to stop interfering. Balogun's challenge was a clear red card. There is no other explanation."
That's exactly what a real manager sounds like.

BREAKING: Former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger SHREDS "piss poor criminal" Donald Trump for interfering in the World Cup to get an American player's red card lifted.
The entire world is enraged over this one...
"Had Trump not said anything, FIFA probably would have reversed the red card after 'review' and kept the contact secret," Kinzinger wrote on X.
"But he can’t help himself. He’s a piss poor criminal who can’t hide it. That will ultimately be his undoing… crypto, Qatar, his sons 'ventures' on and on," Kinzinger added.
Kinzinger was referring to the scandalous news that Trump personally interfered after Folarin Balogun, the U.S. men's soccer team's star player at the World Cup, received a red card in the last match against Bosnia and Herzegovina for stepping on an opposing player's ankle. Due to the penalty, Balogun received a one-game suspension, barring him from playing in the upcoming game against Belgium.
But Trump, always quick to abuse his powers as President, reached out directly to FIFA President Gianni Infantino and urged him to overturn the suspension. Infantino, who has faced nearly as many accusations of corruption as Trump himself, caved. Balogun will now be permitted to play.
Belgium is understandably incensed over the decision and is appealing FIFA’s decision to lift the one-game suspension.
Kinzinger is right that if Trump had simply kept his mouth shut, FIFA likely would have done his bidding, lifted the red card, and the world would have been none the wiser. Instead, Trump confessed to the backroom maneuverings because he's incapable of hiding his own crimes due to hubris or the disintegration of his verbal filtering abilities brought on by his dementia.
“All I did was ask for a review because I didn’t think it was a foul,” he said in the Oval Office. “I didn’t tell him what to do. I can’t tell him what to do.”
While every American is rooting for our team to triumph in the World Cup, this is not how we wanted to do it. Now, even if the U.S. beats Belgium, there will be a massive historic asterisk next to the win because of the obvious corruption at play here.
Trump has taken what should have been a pure, fair celebration of sportsmanship and turned it into something ugly and crooked.
Please ❤️ and share to tell Trump to get his nose out of our sports teams!
