World Cup 2026: Belgium players imitate Donald Trump’s dance after win over USA | Watch | Football News
Belgium has not yet finished mocking after “rubbing the salt”. Romelu Lukaku and others continue to mock US President Donald Trump, this time with his dancing being targeted.Belgium made no secret of mocking the controversy surrounding Folarin Balogun’s eligibility and Trump’s involvement after a convincing win over the United States in today’s knockout round.The moment came after Romelu Lukaku scored Belgium’s fourth goal in stoppage time. As the forward celebrated, his teammates gathered around him and several players began imitating Donald Trump’s dance moves.After Belgium’s emphatic victory, the team shared a photo of the players’ celebrations on their official X account with the caption: “Overthrow 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 last-32 match against Bosnia.The post is thought to be a reference to FIFA’s controversial decision to suspend Balogun’s one-match ban, which allowed the striker to still play despite being sent off in the previous game.The decision comes after reports that Trump had spoken to FIFA president Gianni Infantino about the matter. However, Trump acknowledged his involvement but denied putting any pressure on FIFA to change the ruling.Belgium strongly opposed Balogun’s inclusion and even questioned his eligibility before kick-off; however, FIFA rejected the appeal.Belgium dominated the round of 16 from start to finish. Charles de Cotrare scored twice, while Hans Vanaken added another after capitalizing on a costly goalkeeper error. Lukaku’s stoppage time goal helped the team win 4-1. Malik Tillman scored the U.S.’s only goal, but his effort wasn’t enough to lead the U.S. to victory.Balogun has been the focus of pre-match controversy but has struggled to make an impact as Belgium ease into the quarter-finals, where they will face Spain on July 10.
