Norway soccer chief complains over Trump's FIFA involvement after US star's red card: 'This was an error'

U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame Member Paul Caligiuri breaks down USA vs. Belgium, how Flo Balogun being back affects the USMNT and gives his thoughts on the red card during last week's match against Bosnia.

The World Cup may be over, but there are some still upset over the controversy surrounding USMNT star Folarin Balogun’s red card ban being suspended.

Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) President Lise Klaveness said she is going to ask her board to pursue a formal ethics complaint over the incident. 

She called on FIFA to acknowledge the decision to reverse Balogun’s ban as an error.

"We need our leader in FIFA to say that this was an error," Klaveness told The Times. "If you start to adapt in such a way towards state leaders and state politics, you will move your behavior and the organization's behavior and also the red line of what states' leaders should interfere with. And that happened."

Klaveness claimed the proper process was not followed and that bending the rules could put the sport at risk.

"First of all, it should not have happened. It is very important now to have honest communication around it. We all know that this verdict was influenced from external forces and did not have the proper process," Klaveness said. 

"When you bend a rule like this, you're on a slippery slope that will put the whole game at risk. It is a worry for the game when you compromise fundamental rules of the game."
