US President Donald Trump has joked about the upcoming game between the US and Belgium before the 1/8 final match.
Sport.Biz reports that the teams will face each other on July 7.
"This game will leave a deep mark in history. No matter who wins or loses, we must let them use their best players. This evening's game will be magnificent, we will have our full squad and Belgium will also have their full squad. You know what? If they beat us, they can really be proud. On the other hand, if they beat us, we will say that it's all fake. I will say that it's all fake, just like the 2020 elections. But... I won't go into details", - Trump's press service quotes his words on Facebook.
Earlier, the FIFA disciplinary committee suspended the one-game ban of US striker Folarin Balogun, who received a red card in the 1/16 final match against Bosnia and Herzegovina (2:0), and allowed him to play in the match. Belgium's appeal against the decision was rejected.
