AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoWorld Cup Shockwave: Belgium ended the U.S. co-host dream with a clinical 4-1 Round of 16 win in Seattle, powered by Charles De Ketelaere’s brace and goals from Hans Vanaken and Romelu Lukaku, then celebrated with the viral “Overturn this” and a Trump dance after the Folarin Balogun eligibility storm. FIFA Drama Fallout: Balogun’s red-card ban was suspended after a reported Trump call to Gianni Infantino, sparking outrage and talk of political interference; Belgium’s federation said it’s still pushing for a review of the rules’ application. Injury Blow for Belgium: Amadou Onana ruptured his ACL and is expected to miss the rest of the tournament, though Belgium says he’ll stay with the squad at least until the Spain quarterfinal. Quarterfinals Set: Belgium will face Spain in Los Angeles, with the other last-eight clashes featuring France-Morocco, England-Norway, and Argentina-Switzerland. Belgium in the Spotlight: The U.S.-Belgium match smashed U.S. soccer viewing records—about 30M on Fox and 12M on Telemundo/Peacock for roughly 42M total. Off-field Ripples: FIFA suspended two U.S. staffers ahead of the match, adding another layer to the already chaotic build-up.
