Mauricio Pochettino hailed FIFA's shock decision to suspend Folarin Balogun's one-game ban, reiterating his claim that the call to issue the US striker a red card was harsh. Reports suggest Trump called Infantino to help reverse the ban. amunra.help

"Everyone that really loves the sport and trusts ethics and integrity, I think we celebrate all that decision," Pochettino said. "We were punished enough against Bosnia Herzegovina to play with 10 men for 30 minutes because of a decision that was completely unfair. ... 99.9% of people agree there was an unfair red card."
