I'm a bit out of the loop. What shit did FIFA and Trump do? Got the US team to play?

One guy got a red card and was basically kicked out of the event, and Trump called the FIFA guy and got him reinstated, then he bragged about doing it like it was a positive.

A US player got a red card (meaning kicked out of the game and suspended from playing the following game). Trump called the FIFA president (title? Idk) and suddenly he's allowed to play in the next game.

All this drama and the US still loses 1-4 in the next game. Basically the best outcome at least. The bad taste of Trump influencing FIFA is at least gone. But still pretty fucked FIFA just bowed down to a phone call.

You mean the same FIFA who inverted a peace price just to suck up to agent 47? Hardly surprising at least
