Klopp explodes at Trump and Infantino: Madness, these two people have nothing to

Jurgen Klopp has reacted against FIFA's decision to allow Folarin Balogun to play against Belgium, despite his red card in the 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.

FIFA had initially confirmed that the US forward would automatically serve a one-match suspension. However, just one day before the round of 16 tie, the decision was reversed and Balogun was made available for the US national team.

Reports of contacts between the White House, Donald Trump, and FIFA president Gianni Infantino have added to the debate around this issue.

Klopp stated that if this information is correct, then the situation is unacceptable. The German coach emphasized that the red card was clear and the regulation should be applied. According to him, football should not be influenced by external factors.

"If this really happened, then it's crazy."

Let's put it this way: This is our sport, not theirs. These two people, who have no idea about football, should have nothing to do with it.

"It was a red card, there's no question about that. We're sorry for Balogun because he didn't do it on purpose, but that's what the rules say ," Klopp said.

FIFA's decision has continued to cause reactions in the football world and debates over the integrity of the competition.
