Lukaku and Belgium Mock Trump After 4-1 Victory Over USMNT
Romelu Lukaku and his Belgian teammates marked their 4-1 triumph over the USMNT by playfully imitating Donald Trump's signature dance on the field in Seattle.
Lukaku netted Belgium's fourth goal in their decisive World Cup Round of 16 match on Monday.
Prior to the game, a significant point of contention was Folarin Balogun's red card suspension, which ironically allowed the American striker to participate in the match.
US President Donald Trump had publicly stated he contacted FIFA President Gianni Infantino, urging him to overturn Balogun's red card before the match commenced.
Despite this, Belgium secured a comfortable win, advancing to a quarter-final showdown with Spain. As the final whistle blew and Lukaku scored Belgium's last goal in stoppage time, he and his teammates engaged in a celebration that mimicked the distinct 'Trump Dance.'
