Belgium have not done with the taunts after their place of salt. Romelu Lukaku and company continued to taunt the American president Donald Trump, and this time his ball was the target.After a convincing victory over the USA in their encounter today, the Belgian team did not hold back from mocking the controversy related to the eligibility of Folarin Balogun and the involvement of Trump in the matter.The moment came after Romelu Lukaku scored Belgium’s fourth goal later in stoppage time. As the striker celebrated, his teammates gathered around him, while several players began imitating Donald Trump’s dance moves.After Belgium’s dominant win, the team shared a celebratory image of their players on their official X account with the caption: “Overturn this.”The post was interpreted as a reference to FIFA’s controversial decision to overturn Balogun’s one-match ban. The decision came after Balogun was shown a red card in the Round of 32 match against Bosnia.The post was seen as a reference to FIFA’s controversial decision to suspend Balogun’s one-match ban, which allowed the striker to feature despite being sent off in the previous game.The decision came after reports said Trump had spoken to FIFA president Gianni Infantino about the incident. However, Trump admitted his involvement but denied any pressure on FIFA to change the decision.Belgium strongly objected to Balogun’s availability and even challenged his eligibility before kickoff; however, FIFA rejected the appeal.Belgium dominated the round-of-16 match from start to finish. Charles De Ketelaere scored a brace, while Hans Vanaken added another goal after taking advantage of a costly goalkeeping mistake. Romelu Lukaku sealed the 4-1 victory with a goal in stoppage time. Malik Tillman scored the USA’s only goal, but his effort was not enough to lead his team to victory.Balogun, who had been the focus of pre-match controversy, struggled to make an impact as Belgium comfortably advanced to the quarter-finals, where they will face Spain on July 10.
