FIFA Drops Balogun Suspension Ahead of World Cup | Global News
Description
FIFA pulled off a jaw-dropping move by lifting a red card suspension for U.S. star Folarin Balogun just hours before a World Cup showdown against Belgium — a decision that could send the U.S. to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002. Balogun, the team’s top scorer, was sent off for a questionable tackle, but FIFA’s last-minute reversal has sparked global controversy, with Belgium calling it absurd and politicians like Trump allegedly involved. Critics are questioning FIFA’s integrity, while stars like Zlatan and Rooney weigh in — setting the stage for a historic precedent in international soccer.
