The stunning ejection meant Balogun was due to miss Team USA’s crunch-time match against Belgium. Trump slammed the referee Raphael Claus, of Brazil, and warned to check his “suspect” past. And the decision was soon reversed which Trump thought was “beautiful,” and commended Infantino as a “smart, tough man” whose “stock has gone through the roof.” Comment now
