Belgium players celebrated their 4-1 victory over the U.S. Men's National Team in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup by imitating Donald Trump's distinctive dance routine after their final goal. The president had previously intervened in FIFA's disciplinary action, arguing against a red card issued to U.S. striker Folarin Balogun, which he deemed unfair. Belgium countered with their own mockery, referencing Trump's earlier involvement as the team advanced to the quarter-finals against Spain. Infantino is now facing increased scrutiny over FIFA’s political intervention policies.
