US star Balogun knew red card reversal would 'cause a lot of controversy'

US striker Folarin Balogun said he expected 'a lot of controversy' after FIFA suspended his one-game ban following a request from US President Donald Trump. Balogun was sent off during the USA's 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32, but FIFA controversially suspended the ban for a one-year probationary period. In an interview with CBS Mornings, Balogun admitted the situation was unique and caused nerves among his teammates. The decision led to accusations that FIFA bent its rules to please Trump.
