Belgium's Nicolas Raskin claims "justice" was served after his side defeated the US 4-1 in the World Cup's round of 16.
Raskin was referring to FIFA's decision to allow Folarin Balogun to play despite his red card in the US's previous match.
Belgium coach Rudi Garcia told Balogun the controversy was "not his fault".
Belgium's Nicolas Raskin says the 4-1 World Cup win over the United States feels like a measure of "justice" after Folarin Balogun was allowed to play for the hosts despite his red card in the previous match.
The irony of Trump’s scheme to protect a US World Cup star from the rules
Washington: Donald Trump lifted the lid on how power works – at least in his America, and the world of FIFA – in his candid account of calling Gianni Infantino to “request” a review of Folarin Balogun’s red card.
It is hardly a shock. This is Trump’s America. And this is FIFA – the same organisation that created the ridiculous “FIFA Peace Prize” last year to further stroke the US president’s ego. Still, sometimes it’s a shock to see it executed so blatantly, and with such little attempt to hide it.
Sure, maybe Trump didn’t directly order Infantino to overturn Balogun’s suspension. “I can’t tell him what to do,” he said. He was at least vaguely aware of the impropriety of the whole affair.
