Balogun Cleared to Play Belgium Thanks to Ronaldo Rule

Balogun was sent off during the USA's round of 32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, FIFA's Disciplinary Committee ruled that the automatic one-match suspension would be suspended based on Chapter 4, Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This rule allows suspensions to be deferred if served in a prior match, as seen with Ronaldo's elbowing suspension during World Cup qualifiers. newsindata.org
