President Donald Trump on Monday defended making a phone call to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, which led to the soccer association overturning a one-game World Cup suspension of U.S. Men’s National Team striker Folarin Balogun.

“I asked for a review because I didn’t think it was a foul,” Trump said, referring to a referee issuing Balogun a red card in his team’s victory last week over Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“I didn’t know what the hell a red card was,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office of the White House.

The card led to Balogun being ejected from that match — and to the 25-year-old being barred from playing in the U.S.’s game on Monday night against Belgium.

But FIFA on Sunday suspended the ban, allowing Balogun to play in Monday night’s knockout match against Belgium in Seattle.
