After a 4-1 World Cup win over USA on Monday in which it dominated from the game's opening minute, Belgium couldn't resist. The Belgians trolled U.S. Soccer, FIFA and U.S. President Donald Trump in the aftermath of the overturned red-card kerfuffle that led up to the game.

With the integrity of FIFA and the World Cup under attack from European soccer leaders, FIFA President Gianni Infantino acknowledged taking a call from President Donald Trump before U.S. forward Folarin Balogun was cleared to play against Belgium later Monday.

After beating the USMNT in the 2026 World Cup round of 16, Belgium posted a response on social media to Folarin Balogun's red card being overturned.

UEFA joined a cast critical of FIFA's decision to suspend Folarin Balogun's red card, saying Monday that the move "crossed a red line."

FIFA has rejected an appeal from the Royal Belgium Football Association over the decision to make U.S. striker Folarin Balogun eligible to play in Monday’s World Cup elimination match in Seattle.
