U.S. President Donald Trump called FIFA president Gianni Infantino to request a review of Balogun’s red card.<\/p>\n Balogun played 89 minutes in the United States’ 4-1 loss to Belgium.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, FIFA denied the French Football Federation’s appeal over star winger Michael Olise’s yellow card. Olise, who was booked in the round of 16 against Paraguay, would be banned from a potential semifinal game if he receives another yellow during France’s next match against Morocco on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
