Balogun: I knew Trump's intervention to overturn my World Cup ban would cause controversy

US striker Folarin Balogun admitted he predicted that Donald Trump's involvement in overturning his World Cup red-card suspension would "cause a lot of controversy." The Monaco forward was sent off against Bosnia and Herzegovina, but FIFA's disciplinary committee suspended the one-match ban for a year. Balogun then played in the round of 16, which the USA lost to Belgium.
