The day was dominated by the fallout from Trump's intervention to reverse US striker Balogun's red card suspension at the World Cup. Morning reports of a 'scandal of jewelste' (De Telegraaf) escalated as Trump confirmed he called FIFA president Infantino, with Belgium appealing and Blatter condemning the move. By afternoon, FIFA declared Belgium's appeal inadmissible, and Dutch FA president Van Praag called Infantino's position 'untenable'. This story overshadowed other developments: Russian airstrikes killed eleven in Kyiv after Zelensky's warning; ten municipalities were placed under supervision for failing to provide asylum shelter; and a traffic accident in Heythuysen killed four, including a former 'Boer zoekt Vrouw' participant. Evening coverage shifted to Spain's late victory over Portugal, ending Ronaldo's World Cup career.
