MIKE KEEGAN IN KANSAS CITY: FIFA have slapped Jarell Quansah with a two-match ban - despite strong representations from the FA. Daily Mail Sport previously reported that the FA were considering appealing Quansah's red card against Mexico after President Donald Trump controversially called FIFA president Gianni Infantino to overturn Folarin Balogun's one-match suspension. Bayer Leverkusen defender Quansah was sent off following a VAR review for a sliding tackle in England's last-16 victory over Mexico that initially went unpunished on the field.

Will FIFA president Gianni Infantino be forced to resign?

Infantino as secure as ever at FIFA - the Balogun Farrago is no resigning matter‚ and here's why.

Belgium couldn't resist piling on the misery for the United States following their dominant World Cup victory on Monday. The Belgians thrashed Mauricio Pochettino's side 4-1 in the Round of 16 in Seattle following days of controversy. The USA's World Cup heartbreak came after their tournament was marred at the weekend when it emerged that Donald Trump had called FIFA president Gianni Infantino to review the one-match ban handed to American star Florian Balogun.

DANIEL MATTHEWS IN SEATTLE: It turns out Donald Trump was worried about the wrong striker. In an extraordinary intervention that cast a long shadow over the biggest game in US soccer history‚ the president had lobbied FIFA boss Gianni Infantino to allow the suspended Folarin Balogun to face Belgium. How much influence that call had‚ we may never know. In the end‚ though‚ it made little difference. Because‚ even though Balogun was controversially cleared to play‚ it was Belgian striker Charles De Ketelaere who decided this World Cup showdown. The 25-year-old scored two goals and helped create another as Belgium broke American hearts and shattered the co-hosts' World Cup dreams in the round of 16. De Ketelaere was given a huge helping hand by Mauricio Pochettino's players who‚ after weeks of promise and brilliance‚ put in a calamitous display. Balogun drew a blank before Romelu Lukaku profited from a final defensive lapse to seal a 4-1 win. What a dismal end to a magical few weeks. Good luck overturning this one‚ Mr President.
