Following the 4-1 win over the United States, the Belgian national team has taken a final jab at the saga around the reversal of US striker Folarin Balogun's suspension.
In a post on social media, the Royal Belgian Football Association taunted FIFA, ironically asking them to overturn the result of the game.
The message follows FIFA's controversial decision to overturn Balogun's ban after he received a red card in the round of 32 game against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

US President Donald Trump admitted on Monday to pressuring FIFA boss Gianni Infantino during a phone call shortly after the match.
According to Infantino, the decision to overturn the ban was made by an independent committee.
Belgium filed an appeal against the decision, and accused FIFA of sabotaging the procedure. Hours before the game was supposed to start, FIFA announced that is rejected the appeal, and Balogun was given the final go-ahead.
Balogun started the match for the US and was substituted off shortly before the end of the game.
Belgian players celebrate with 'Trump dance'
The taunting was not limited to social media, as Belgian players were filmed in a celebration which also poked fun at the US president.
Following Romelu Lukaku's game-deciding goal, Belgian players were seen mimicking Trump's signature dance moves.
According to Red Devils midfielder Axel Witsel, the moves were premeditated. "The idea came from the entire group," the defensive midfielder told Sporza. "But to me it's more important to see that we stuck together as a group."
