Balogun: I knew Trump intervention 'would cause a lot of controversy'

USA striker Folarin Balogun predicted President Trump's involvement in overturning his World Cup suspension would "cause a lot of controversy". 

The Monaco forward was sent off with a red card in the United States' round-of-32 meeting with Bosnia and Herzegovina, but FIFA's disciplinary committee then suspended the one-match ban for a year, allowing Balogun to participate in the Americans' last-16 loss to Belgium.
