After Belgium scored their fourth goal several of their players were pictured dancing in a style similar to the 'Trump dance' - where he rocks his hips and slowly pumps his arms - which gained notoriety during the 2024 US presidential campaign.
The official Instagram account for the Belgium national team also appeared to mock the debacle, posting a picture of striker Romelu Lukaku cupping his ear with the caption "overturn this".
Iran also took a swipe at the US and the Balogun incident, posting a screenshot of their draw with Belgium beside the US's heavy defeat on their official website.
The screenshot was accompanied by the message: "Now the whole world is dancing for the humiliating defeat of politics against football".
The US' head of homeland security Markwayne Mullin previously said he "danced a happy dance" when Iran was eliminated in the group stage, as Iran had their own World Cup participation marred by visa and travel issues because of the US's war in Iran.
"We really like the name Mark, but we also want to signal to the world that he's a cnut. It's a quandary."
"What about Markwayne? I know it's not a name but it does the trick."
"Aw, what a terrible baby! I hate you, Markwayne!"
