FIFA lifts Balogun red card after Trump call

FIFA has withdrawn the red card suspension from American striker Folarin Balogun, allowing him to play against Belgium in the World Cup round of 16.

The U.S. striker will be available for the early Monday match in Seattle after FIFA President Gianni Infantino reversed the decision following a call from President Donald Trump, as reported by The New York Times. The red card had initially disqualified Balogun from playing in the crucial knockout round match. newsbetting.cv
