So yeah, I think he's pretty untouchable.

That's just my view.

He should have known what a red card was because Gianni showed him in the Oval Office what a red card was.

I think he even gifted him a red card.

I think he actually said you can show the media the red card and gave the red card to Trump who then threw it on the table.

He should know what a red card is.

The Athletic FC Podcast · England’s Azteca heroics + inside Trump’s Balogun call · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

Hi, Emma.

Yeah, thanks for having us on.

Yeah, so Sunday morning, we revealed on The Athletic that Balogun will be available for the US's game against Belgium.

Later today, for all intents and purposes, he was ruled out of that game through suspension.

He was sent off against Bosnia and FIFA.

You know, a red card at a World Cup is an automatic one-game suspension, and there are no avenues to appeal that.

So, you know, the USMNT were going to be out with who's been their best player at the tournament.

However,

as revealed on The Athletic on Sunday, the red card wasn't overturned, but Balogun has now received a suspended one-game ban.

So similar to what happened with Ronaldo earlier in the year, where FIFA, the disciplinary committee, suspended two of his three-match ban that he received after the red card against Ireland, they've applied the same article, 27, to the Balogun situation.

Now what that means is he will be available to play for the US team.

Well, this is his first time we've seen him.

We've still not seen him.

We've seen his Truth Social post, but we've still not seen Trump at this World Cup.
