Belgium mock Donald Trump with iconic dance following thumping victory over team USA
The Belgian national team has hilariously mocked US President Donald Trump following their victory over the United States in the World Cup. On Tuesday, Belgium knocked the co-hosts out of the World Cup following a thumping 4-1 victory in the round of 16. The build-up to the match was marred by controversy after FIFA overturned USA striker Folarin Balogun’s red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Balogun was set to miss the match against Belgium, but the one-match ban was overturned following an intervention by President Trump. Despite Balogun starting, Belgium thumped Team USA and celebrated Romelu Lukaku's goal by mimicking Trump’s iconic dance.
