The United States was eliminated by Belgium in the round of 16 of the World Cup. A satirical article in the French media outlet Le Gorafi humorously portrays King Philippe as the man behind Belgium's success.
According to the satirical article, the US had caused a stir during the tournament due to alleged ties between US President Donald Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The article ironically claims that Trump had influenced the cancellation of the red card of US national team striker Folarin Balogun after a phone call with Infantino.
In this humorous context, the article continues that on July 6, many fans around the world supported Belgium, hoping that it would eliminate the American team.
According to Le Gorafi, King Philippe also symbolically committed to supporting the Belgian national team.
The article ironically claims that, just as Trump called Infantino, the Belgian monarch contacted coach Rudi Garcia and team captain Youri Tielemans to express his support.
