The president of the United States, Donald Trump, confirmed this Monday (6) that he asked FIFA to review the red card given to the North American player Folarin Balogun during the US team's last match in the World Cup, against Bosnia Herzegovina. The intervention ended up having repercussions on social media and generating a series of memes.
"All I did was ask for a review, because I didn't think it was a fault. I didn't tell FIFA what to do. The committee made the right decision. It's unfair to exclude one of the best players in the USA", said the president during a press conference in the Oval Office of the White House.
