FIFA Allows Balogun Without Full Explanation

Just hours before the USA vs Belgium match, FIFA's disciplinary committee president issued a statement allowing suspended player Folarin Balogun to play, without fully explaining their reasoning. The committee stated they made the decision "taking into account all specific circumstances of the incident and available evidence," but provided no details about what those circumstances or evidence were. truewildslot.com

The decision came after Balogun had been suspended following a red card in the previous round. FIFA's explanation that "review is not a novelty in modern football" did little to clarify why this particular case warranted special treatment.
