Ted Cruz (R-TX) thanked President Trump for asking FIFA to review U.S. soccer star Folarin Balogun's one-game suspension over a controversial red card from the team's match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. "On behalf of all Americans, thank you for getting rid of that ridiculous red card," the senator said Monday in the Oval Office. "It was spectacular. There was a reason the FIFA trophy sat here for as long as it did." FIFA lifted the suspension after the president spoke with the organization's president, Gianni Infantino, igniting a firestorm in the soccer world — particularly in Belgium, which is set to face the U.S. in the round of 16 on Monday night. #tedcruz #trump #worldcup #balogun #cspan 8tbJtwegy92 wi26Lo57hU5 oTxhsWTorpY VFAPIPGB0Tp x8A1gs1AdAS
