Trump's meddling in FIFA World Cup stuns analysts

The White House reportedly made a direct call to FIFA's president, Gianni Infantino, requesting the overturning of a red card suspension made on an American player.Folarin Balogun, 25, received an automatic one-game suspension following a red card during the Bosnia and U.S match on July 1. But ahead of the USA's crucial World Cup quarterfinal match against Belgium on Monday night, FIFA reversed the suspension and allowed Balogun to play, reported Ben Jacobs for GiveMeSport. President Donald Trump subsequently praised FIFA on Truth Social, Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right, and reversing a great injustice!Critics reacted online. Possible corruption and cheating aside, hilarious that the Trump administration [was] allegedly pushing hard to reinstate a player who is a literal birthright citizen, Mehdi Hasan, founder of Zeteo News, posted on X. FIFA has explicit statutes preventing political or government interference. This should be a resigning matter for a repeatedly disgraced FIFA President, Tim Stillman, a football writer for ArseBlog.com, posted on X.Watch the video below.

France’s Deschamps unruffled by Argentinian officials helming Morocco quarter-final

Repeat of last World Cup final v Argentina still possible‘We have to deal with it,’ France’s head coach saysDidier Deschamps has insisted he is not concerned by the appointment of Argentinian officials to oversee the World Cup quarter-final between France and Morocco on Thursday, with a repeat of the 2022 final against Argentina still possible. “We have to deal with it,” he said. “I trust the referees. Our opponent is Morocco, not the referee.”The France head coach, though, is not a natural diplomat. This was a characteristically combative display from Deschamps, who spent at least 90 seconds at the end of his press conference explaining why he really did not have time to answer one final question, before reluctantly answering, grumpily. He couldn’t resist a jibe at those, many in the north African media, who had criticised the French official François Letexier’s performance during the last-16 game between Argentina and Egypt on Tuesday.

Italian Newspaper Headline Tells It Like It Is About Trump

Just like his stupid attack on Iran, President Dealmaker just blew up his relationship with one of his closest European allies for no good reason. As we’ve previously reported, Donald Trump insulted Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni by claiming she had “begged” him to take a picture of them together at the G7 summit. He said he had only done so because he had “felt sorry” for her. The backlash was swift and fierce. Italian foreign minister Antonio Tajani canceled a planned visit to the U.S. this weekend. Meloni posted a scathing video on social media Friday, headlined, “Italy and I never beg. She also said, “I don't know why the president of the United States behaves this way with his own allies. I can only say it's a shame he doesn't show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, with leaders with whom instead he proves to be much more accommodating.” Italy’s right-wing daily paper, Libero answered Meloni’s question about why Trump shivs his allies.

The Folarin Balogun Red Card Brouhaha Is A Vintage FIFA Disaster

Just a day after FIFA rescind Folarin Balogun's red-card suspension so that the USMNT striker could play against Belgium in Monday night's round of 16 match in Seattle, a decision that elicited reactions ranging from joyful to horrified depending on your rooting interests, the story keeps on rolling thanks to FIFA's innate FIFA-ness. On Monday, the Royal Belgian Football Association released a statement about the whole mess, which has raised the twin specters of corruption and incompetence. The RBFA's statement is a doozy. The association claims it learned of Balogun's un-suspension not from FIFA itself, but through the media reports coming from the tournament press on Sunday. Likely confused and certainly more than a little angry, the RBFA sent a letter to FIFA requesting a copy of the decision, an explanation of the process that had been followed, and setting out its position regarding the applicable regulations. This is a reasonable request to make, and though FIFA failed to communicate to Belgium the results of their decision about Balogun prior to it leaking to the press, FIFA could have turned that into a minor oversight by simply sharing its reasoning with the RBFA. Not so fast, my friends! Because this is FIFA, things got very weird after Belgium sent that their request for clarity. The next part of the RBFA statement reads: As its only response, FIFA sent a letter to the RBFA stating that it considered this correspondence to constitute an appeal, that a judge had been appointed, and that the RBFA had only a few hours to complete that appeal. No information whatsoever was provided by FIFA.
