YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Trump admitted he did not know what a red card was, then bragged that he personally asked FIFA to review Folarin Balogun’s suspension before Team USA’s knockout match against Belgium. FIFA insists the decision was independently reviewed, but Belgium, UEFA figures, and even Sepp Blatter blasted the move as political interference in a World Cup that is already tangled in Trump, Gianni Infantino, and corruption. The ugliest part is not one controversial call; it is watching two men who treat every institution like it can be bought try to turn the world’s most beautiful game into another rigged trophy ceremony. Ring of Fire's Josh G. discusses.
