United States striker Folarin Balogun is now eligible to face Belgium in Monday’s World Cup round of 16 after FIFA’s disciplinary committee suspended his automatic match ban. Balogun had received a red card in the U.S. victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina for stepping on an opponent’s heel, which would have kept him out of the elimination game. FIFA instead imposed a one-year probationary period, a decision that drew praise from President Donald Trump, who posted on Truth Social thanking the soccer body for correcting what he termed a major wrong. The ruling is controversial because under FIFA rules the U.S. had no formal appeal process. Balogun’s return boosts the American attack as the team seeks its first quarterfinal berth since 2002.
