Paris Hilton, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were among the stars who ventured out to watch USA vs Belgium at the World Cup on Monday. 

Dressed in stripes, Paris, 45, wore a cardigan over her football shirt with statement white sunglasses as she posed for pictures ahead of the game.  

Paris recently stepped onto the pitch at the FIFA World Cup. 

She served as the honorary Stadium Captain in Los Angeles, bringing her husband Carter Reum and their two children, Phoenix and London, to their very first World Cup match. 

Amazon boss Jeff, 62, also wore stripes, but he and Lauren, 56, looked a little downbeat as the USA lost to Belgium 4-1 at Seattle Stadium, in the city where Amazon is headquartered.

Lauren cut a lowkey figure in an all-black ensemble and posted twice to Instagram in a USA jersey from the Stadium.

'So excited USA!!!!!!' she wrote captioning one post to her 1.1million followers in which she and a friend posed in team shirts.

In another, she posed with her son Evan also in a USA kit, with the caption: 'LFG USA!'

Bezos himself was later shown on the broadcast of the match sitting alongside Sanchez as the United States exited the tournament with a loss.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald, who led the NFL team to Super Bowl glory in February, and Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder were among the other celebrities in the house.

The match has been the subject of international attention after Donald Trump admitted to having called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to ask that striker Folarin Balogun's red card be reversed.

Balogun ended up having his one-game suspension suspended for a year and started for the US against Belgium.

Details emerged late on Sunday about the behind-the-scenes campaign by Trump aides and senior US Soccer execs that ultimately resulted in a direct appeal to FIFA president Gianni Infantino to overturn the US striker's controversial red card.

Balogun was sent off after VAR determined he had stepped on the ankle of Bosnia defender Tarik Muharemovic.

Although the referee had not initially shown a yellow card, VAR intervened and the incident resulted in a straight red card, forcing the US to finish the match with 10 men.

WSJ reports that concern inside the White House mounted almost immediately after the match.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Rudy Giuliani's son, Andrew, executive director of the White House's World Cup task force, argued the suspension significantly weakened the US's chances of advancing and began discussing possible options with President Trump.

The Journal reported how Trump instructed aides to explore ways of having the suspension overturned, while administration officials discussed legal avenues and consulted attorneys aligned with the president.

The New York Post reported that US Soccer simultaneously mounted its own challenge to FIFA's decision.

Citing a source it described as having intimate knowledge of the process, the newspaper reported that US Soccer chief executive JT Batson and chief operating officer Dan Helfrich led an effort arguing that VAR procedures had been incorrectly applied during the incident.

It suggested that US Soccer considered taking the dispute to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the international tribunal that hears major sporting disputes, if FIFA declined to reconsider the suspension.

'A legal appeal was sent to FIFA,' the source told the Post. 'They wanted to avoid CAS. The CAS legal was ready to go.'

Neither FIFA nor the Court of Arbitration for Sport publicly have confirmed such legal discussions.

But Trump went on to confirm he personally contacted FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
