Belgium 'Astonished' By FIFA Balogun Ruling

The Royal Belgian Football Association is astonished by FIFA's decision to allow US striker Folarin Balogun to play in their World Cup round of 16 match despite a red card suspension.

The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) has expressed astonishment at FIFA's decision to declare suspended US striker Folarin Balogun eligible for their round of 16 match. According to the RBFA, Article 66.4 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly states that a red card should result in a one-match suspension.

The Belgian governing body argues FIFA is contradicting its own World Cup regulations and is investigating all potential options to protect the principles of fair play. The match between Belgium and the USA is scheduled for Monday at 5:00 p.m. Seattle time. cricket-ipl.co.za
