President Donald Trump’s role in FIFA’s stunning decision to allow striker Folarin Balogun to be eligible to play against Belgium on Monday in Seattle is under the microscope. A source familiar with the matter told CNN on Sunday that Trump spoke with FIFA President Gianni Infantino this week after Balogun’s red card and asked the FIFA leader to review the call. On Sunday afternoon, soccer’s governing body announced it was using an obscure rule to suspend Balogun’s automatic one-match ban for one year, allowing the striker to play against Belgium in the Round of 16. CNN’s Julia Benbrook has the details from the White House, and CNN’s Erica Hill discusses the controversy with her CNN This Morning panel and “We are the World (Cup)” author Roger Bennett. 0:00 When did Trump call FIFA’s president? 2:00 Royal Belgian Football Association reacts to Trump’s involvement 2:53 FIFA claims its decision was made by an independent commission 6:22 Will Team USA have an asterisk attached to its World Cup results?
