So.. after the ridiculous peace prize trump is now even forcing FIFA to manipulate the game in their favour.

If Europe had any balls we would just go home and start a new organisation to replace the corrupt FIFA. We should have never even accepted to play in trumpistan

The real irony, which I'm sure is lost on Trump, is that Balogun is only able to play for the US due to his birthright citizenship, something the Trump administration is actively trying to get rid of.

Balogun played for England until 2023.

    "Birthright" is such a terrible term for that way of obtaining citizenship.

    Isn't it also a "birth right" to get citizenship based on the citizenships of the parents who gave birth to you?

    Jus soli is "birthright", jus sanguinis is also "birthright". It's only naturalization that is a way to get citizenship that isn't a result of your birth.
