It is already known that the United States is currently hosting the ongoing season of the FIFA World Cup and the US country is performing pretty well in the same. Now there appears to be the direct involvement of Donald Trump in the same.

Extensive to be that the United States president has come to the rescue of a player associated with the United States World Cup team.

When a United States player Folarin Balogun was banned from the next game against Belgium, after having secured a red card in the previous game, according to the FIFA rules, Trump came into play.

Speaking in the Oval Office Trump admitted he personally asked FIFA to overturn the suspension of Folarin Balogun, saying he "didn't know what the hell a red card was.” He gave the strong indication that United States government played a role in this removal of ban on the U.S. player.

"The other way, if they beat us, I'd say it was rigged, just like the election was rigged in 2020, but I won't get into that." This was the comment that Trump had made regarding this decision, and it has instantly grabbed the attention on social media.

People are questioning the audacity of the United States government to speak with the FIFA authority regarding a banned player. Many people are commenting that the US government is using its power to get things done for the US football team, and this is not the right thing to do in sports.

But the fact that the United States president himself is getting involved by the US football team shows the kind of importance that the government is giving to the tournament.
