Jürgen Klopp spoke for millions of global fans when condemning President Donald Trump’s apparent string-pulling to overturn US star Folarin Balogun’s suspension for a critical World Cup game.

The new German national soccer coach’s insight into the psyche of football’s devotees is now the best way to understand the game’s new storm — FIFA’s plan to sell shares in future World Cup events.

This would always have been contentious. It’s especially so in the emotionally charged aftermath of spectacular World Cup finals in North America.

But the backlash is being supercharged by one thing: There’s a Trump factor.

The reported involvement of Joshua Kushner, brother of Trump’s son-in-law Jared, turned a sports business story into a reprise of the uproar ignited by the president this summer.

There’s no confirmation that Trump is involved. And there’s nothing illegal about FIFA’s plan — which nevertheless prompted European nations Thursday to threaten a future World Cup boycott. Other global federations, including the one governing the sport in North America, also registered opposition.

But football followers are primed for suspicion because of Trump’s meddling over Balogun; his crashing of world champ Spain’s on-pitch victory party; and his bromance with world soccer supremo Gianni Infantino, which culminated in the extraordinary decision to award the president the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize.

“Where will they stop?” the front page of French sports daily L’Equipe blared this week over a photo composite of Trump, Infantino, the glistening golden World Cup trophy and dollars floating in the air.

FIFA says its scheme will unleash millions in cash, including from US investors, for grassroots football development — especially in poorer nations like Cape Verde, which wove a World Cup fairy tale. It may be more welcomed in emerging soccer hotbeds in Africa and Asia than in Europe.

FIFA plans to set up a separate subsidiary — involving private equity investment — to control the commercial and operational rights of its events. But UEFA, the governing body of European football, says the arrangement is immoral and that FIFA doesn’t have the right to sell off “what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.”
