Folarin Balogun received a red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina. FIFA said the decision was final. Not subject to appeal. Automatic one game suspension. That is the rule. That has always been the rule. That is what the competition regulations explicitly state.Then Donald Trump called Gianni Infantino. And the rule stopped applying.Because here is what actually happened. Trump called FIFA's president and asked him to review Balogun's red card. FIFA — the same organisation that had told everyone the decision was final and not able to be overturned — suspended the ban within days. Balogun played against Belgium. And Trump posted on social media: "Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right."
