Belgium mocked FIFA and US President Donald Trump after defeating the United States 4-1 in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16. Moments after the victory, Belgium's official team account posted a photo of Romelu Lukaku celebrating with the caption, "Overturn this," in an apparent dig at FIFA's decision to overturn Folarin Balogun's suspension before the match. The ruling followed Trump's public intervention, drawing criticism from Belgium and several European football bodies. Belgium backed up its protest with a dominant performance to book a place in the quarter-finals.
