Belgium 4-1 USA: World Cup win stuns Trump and FIFA chief

Belgian fans erupted in joy after their national team crushed the United States 4-1 in a World Cup match early on Tuesday. The victory came amid controversy over US President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn a suspension of striker Falorin Balogun. Belgium’s prime minister, Bart De Wever, has not commented on the win. But his cat’s Instagram account posted a subtle jab. A photo showed Maximus, De Wever’s pet, lying on a rug with a soft toy of Trump. “I slept really well last night. And you?” read the caption in Dutch. Many fans called the result “a real slap in the face for Trump and Infantino,” referring to FIFA president Gianni Infantino. The match drew global attention as Balogun’s suspension had sparked political debate.
