Team USA's top scorer, Balogun, received a red card in the game against Bosnia. Which means he would be suspended in the next game.
President Trump called FIFA boss Infantino. Now FIFA states without further explanation that the suspension is lifted, and Balogun can play in the upcoming game against Belgium. Following that, Trump publicly thanked FIFA for that decision.
If that would have happened 2018 in Russia, Putin interfering with the world cup, the explosion of the med…

Air conditioning across the tournament's five indoor stadiums over the six-week competition is estimated to generate between 6,000 and 9,000 tonnes of CO₂ (central estimate: 7,400 tonnes).
