15:56Now PlayingFootball's governing body FIFA is under fire for allegedly reversing a US footballer's match suspension following an intervention from US President Donald Trump. US striker Folarin Balogun had been sent off the field last week following a red card in a game against Bosnia and Herzegovina. But an automatic one match suspension thereafter was suspended by FIFA after reports emerged that Trump had called FIFA boss Gianni Infantino complaining about it. Did FIFA bend its rules to favor Trump? Was Balogun's suspension lifted so he could play a key match against Belgium? Biresh Banerjee discusses with DW Sports Correspondent Jonathan Crane.
