Summary
The U.S. men's national team is set to face Belgium on Monday night in the World Cup round of 16 with star striker Folarin Balogun eligible to play after his one-game suspension was put on hold by FIFA. The penalty automatically landed Balogun a one-game suspension. Folarin Balogun is in the United States’ starting lineup for Monday’s World Cup round of 16 match against Belgium after his red-card suspension was lifted by FIFA in a decision that sparked an uproar across the sport.
Furthermore, FIFA told ABC News at the time that the call was final and not able to be overturned or appealed. Balogun was given a red card during the July 1 game against Bosnia-Herzegovina after the U.S. player clashed with an opposing player's foot in the second half. "These were two great athletes that got tangled up and this referee, who is a little bit suspect, if you check his past, he made a call that nobody could believe.
In addition, "Ten men down for so long, soaking up pressure and grinding it out… it was really pleasing. Others defended the actor, saying he was merely enjoying the sport as millions of others were doing around the globe.
