Fifa bans England's Jarell Quansah for two games, meaning he misses Norway and a potential semi-final.

Quansah was sent off for serious foul play.

US striker Folarin Balogun, who was sent off for serious foul play, got one game which was suspended for 12 months...

Reporter: Can you describe your phone call with Gianni Infantino about the red card? Belgium is appealing the decision.

Trump: You’re asking me about the whole soccer thing. So, yeah, I did. I spoke to Gianni.

That wasn’t a foul. That wasn’t even an infraction. That was two guys running full speed who happened to crash into each other. You can’t properly place your foot on somebody else’s foot when you’re going full speed. No, these were two great athletes who got tangled up.

And this referee, who is a little bit suspect—if you check his past. I don’t want to say that because I don’t like to create controversy, but very suspect. If you’d like, I’ll provide you with his past.

He didn’t do anything wrong, and he’s our best player, or one of our best players—a very vital player—and they gave him a red card.

I didn’t know what that meant. I didn’t think it meant much. Then I started hearing that it means you can’t play in the next game, at least in the next game.
I said, “Boy, that’s a big—” You know, if it happened to another player, it would have been unfair, but when they take your best player—or just about; they have some great players—and say you can’t play, that’s very unfair.

That’s one thing, to penalize somebody for the game. But how do you penalize them for a game that hasn’t been played yet? It’s very unfair. You can’t do that.

So, yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I spoke to a man who is highly respected, and by the way, whose level of respect has gone up tenfold.

BREAKING: The White House called FIFA’s Gianni Infantino to review Team USA’s Folarin Balogun’s red card, AP source says. https://t.co/ZM1M8IIf01

[Laurie @LFCLaurie]

Didn't think it was possible to replace Sepp Blatter with someone more corrupt, but with Gianni Infantino, FIFA might have actually managed it.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

So, the White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card, and they suspended the one-game ban straight after.

The US should have never hosted the World Cup.

[OptaJohan @OptaJohan]

0 - Since the introduction of yellow and red cards at the 1970 edition, no player has ever received a red card and gone on to play in his team's next match at the FIFA World Cup.

Unprecedented.

[Seb Stafford-Bloor @SebSB]

The bigger argument will be when FIFA doesn’t do this for the next player to get a red card at the World Cup, because it will be very difficult to explain why not.

[Danny @DannyAarons]

This is the most rigged World Cup ever how can they just remove someone’s red card after the match for no reason 🤣🤣🤣

[Alfie | HITC Sevens @HITCSevens]

This makes a mockery of the whole tournament.

If the USMNT win, Belgium will have every right to feel cheated, meanwhile the USA’s victory - by their best ever generation of players - will forever be tainted by accusations of favouritism and corruption.

It’s bad for everyone.

[Will @SwindonCull97]

Horribly blatant corruption. How did FIFA elected someone more corrupt than Blatter? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Adam Crafton @AdamCrafton_]

BREAKING @TheAthleticFC

Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium with his one-game red-card ban suspended. Extraordinary development.
