Interference by Trump in the World Cup.

Why does this not surprise me?
Maybe Mr Infantino could just cut out the middle bit where people play football, and just give the shiny trophy to his friend Mr Trump, sorry, the USA team.

I’m sure FIFA will conjure up a special award for the host team. To think there was such an outcry about Quatar being given the World Cup. Who’d’ve thought the America that was awarded it would become the America it is now.

That’s not right!

NotSpaghetti Apologies for repeating what you already stated...I misread your OP.

Apparently there is no mechanism for appealing World Cup red cards and a one match ban is mandatory according to FIFA's rules. But Article 27 of their disciplinary code allows FIFA to suspend the match ban for 12 months.

The thing is, they didn't suspend the three red card match bans from the opening game, so why the American one? Especially as there's no way to appeal it.

I guess a President complaining isn't classed as an appeal.

Trump and Infantino are a disgrace !

I agree.
What a farce!

Think Infantino should start looking for another job!
No sport should be subject to this type of interference .
Trump gets worse by the day!
