U.S. star's suspension lifted after Trump calls FIFA head

Season 2026 Episode 138 | 6m 46s

The United States takes on Belgium Monday with star striker Folarin Balogun on the pitch. Balogun was given a red card in last week’s game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, meaning he would miss the next game. But President Trump intervened and FIFA reversed Balogun's suspension. Amna Nawaz discussed the World Cup controversy with Liz Landers and Leander Schaerlaeckens, author of “The Long Game."
