Fifa accuses Uefa of hypocrisy in latest war of words over Folarin Balogun decision
It says overturning red cards is a common measure
No talk from Uefa before about ‘red line’, Fifa states
Fifa has hit back at Uefa in the war of words over the lifting of the USA striker Folarin Balogun’s suspension by accusing it of hypocrisy in its condemnation of the decision.
In a statement attributed to the chair of Fifa’s disciplinary committee, Mohammad al-Kamali, published before the USA’s last-16 defeat by Belgium, Fifa insisted that “the overturning of red cards is a common disciplinary measure” in Uefa-affiliated leagues, “yet this has never raised concerns about crossing any ‘red line’”.

While De Jong has graduated to Barcelona, Steur, who can operate as a No 6 or a No 8, seems almost certainly Tyneside bound. At St James’ Park he is likely to start next season competing with Lewis Miley to fill Sandro Tonali’s old central midfield role and will be given time to adjust to the Premier League’s physicality.

Fourteen riders, including Jasper Stuyven and Mads Pedersen, have broken away from the main pack early in the stage. The peloton is currently chasing down the escapees as temperatures rise significantly.
The stage began at 12.10pm BST (1.10pm local) without ITV coverage, prompting some fans to express disappointment over the absence of the network's iconic theme tune and post-race analysis.
