There is much trouble at the 2026 World Cup. The player Balogun from the USA got a red card. He kicked a player on the foot. Usually a player cannot play after a red card.
But the FIFA removed the ban. Balogun can play against Belgium. He only got a probation. This means: He can play. If he does something bad again he gets a penalty.
President Trump says: He talked to FIFA boss Infantino. He asked to check the penalty. Many people do not like this. They say: Politics must stay away from sports.
Experts like Kramer are angry. They say: This is not fair for other teams. The UEFA also complains. They say: This crosses a line.
Now other countries want checks for their penalties too. England wants a change for their player. Coach Tuchel asks: Where does this end? The FIFA says: Everything follows the rules.
