Folarin Balogun's red card suspension leads to backlash from Belgium FA

FIFA suspended Folarin Balogun's one-game ban, allowing him to play against Belgium in the last-16 match, per the disciplinary committee's decision on July 5. Balogun received the red card during the USA's victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina in the last-32 round. Critics, including Gary Neville, voiced strong disapproval, citing a lack of transparency and fairness. The Belgium FA expressed shock and plans to explore potential options regarding the decision, presenting it as an injustice in the tournament.
