    European football's governing body UEFA launched a scathing attack on FIFA on Monday after world football's governing body suspended the one-match World Cup ban handed to United States striker Folarin Balogun following intervention from U.S. President Donald Trump, calling the move a threat to the integrity of the sport.

    The surprising decision allowed Balogun to play in the United States' Round of 16 match against Belgium. It received a lot of criticism from UEFA, coaches, officials, and former FIFA president Sepp Blatter. They questioned FIFA's ability to act independently.
