“Overturn This!”: Belgium Shades USA After 4-1 World Cup Rout
Belgium booked a spot in the World Cup quarter-finals with a commanding 4-1 victory over co-hosts USA in Seattle. The win followed a storm over FIFA’s decision to lift the one-match suspension for USA striker Folarin Balogun after a straight red card. Critics pointed to political influence on FIFA President Gianni Infantino after US President Donald Trump publicly lobbied for Balogun. England coach Thomas Tuchel and others questioned the consistency of the disciplinary process. After the match, the Belgian national side let the pitch do the talking and capped it off with a cutting social media post: “Overturn this.” The defeat ended the USA’s run and left all three North American hosts out by the Round of 16.
