The Brazilian Football Federation has defended the "integrity" of Brazilian referee Rafael Claus after he came under criticism from US President Donald Trump over a red card he showed to United States striker Folarin Balogun during the match against Bosnia in the round of 32 of the North American World Cup.
The Brazilian Football Federation said it rejects any insinuation questioning the integrity of Rafael Claus, describing him as an "exemplary professional", in response to what Trump called outrageous and highly suspicious.
