Belgium mocked the U.S. men’s national team and U.S. President Donald Trump, both on and off the field, following Monday’s 4–1 emphatic thumping in the round of 16 at the FIFA World Cup.
The controversy surrounding Folarin Balogun was the almost exclusive talking point prior to the knockout clash at Lumen Field. The American striker was originally set to miss the Belgium game after picking up a red card in the previous round, but his one-match ban was spectacularly suspended by FIFA following the governing body’s conversations with Trump.
