After USA's World Cup exit: Belgium takes a jab at FIFA

Belgium is in the quarterfinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup!

With a clear 4-1 victory over hosts USA (Match report >>>), the "Red Devils" have ensured "justice," as midfielder Nicolas Raskin, among others, put it.

The background was the controversial lifting of the suspension of US striker Folarin Balogun, who received a red card in the Round of 32 against Bosnia and Herzegovina. US President Donald Trump personally ensured that the suspension was overturned.

Belgium fires back: "Overturn this!"

Balogun started against Belgium but had no real impact on the game. After the USA's clear exit, the Belgians couldn't resist a dig via social media.

"Overturn this!" ("Hebt das auf!"), the association wrote, directed at US President Donald Trump and FIFA boss Gianni Infantino.

Belgium coach Rudi Garcia reported that Balogun sought a conversation after the final whistle. "It's not his fault (what happened, editor's note). He's not to blame, I told him that."
