It's worth mentioning that in the previous round, the player 'Rajan' was banned from the competition. However, American striker Barroquinho, who had been delayed by FIFA, made it into the starting lineup and played in the match.
Previously, after U.S. President Trump got involved, FIFA allowed American forward Barroso to postpone his suspension. As the geopolitical tensions between the United States and Europe were already escalating, the differences between the two sides have further intensified.
On the 6th of that local time, U.S. President Trump publicly stated that if both teams, the U.S. team and Belgium, played with their best players, it would definitely be a thrilling match. If Belgium won, “they could be proud of themselves.” However, he also said that if the U.S. team lacked Balohong, “they would win against us, and I would say that this is cheating, just like the elections in 2020.”
