Balogun Ban Lifted for US vs Belgium

US striker Folarin Balogun will be available for the crucial last-16 match against Belgium after FIFA suspended his one-game ban.

President Donald Trump thanked FIFA after the governing body announced that USA striker would have his one-game ban suspended. The decision gives the US a significant boost as they attempt to reach the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2002.

Balogun, who has been a constant threat for the US with three goals in three starts, received a red card in the last-32 match. The Belgium FA expressed astonishment at the FIFA disciplinary committee's decision, which cited an article of the FIFA code. h-doctor.club
