FIFA's decision to lift the automatic suspension of U.S. forward Folarin
Balogun has caused an uproar. Balogun was red-carded against Bosnia-Herzegovina
last week in the round of 32 but shockingly cleared to play against Belgium on
Monday in Seattle in the round of 16. The Belgian federation was making a
last-ditch appeal against the rare ruling. The suspension was erased after
President Donald Trump spoke with FIFA President Gianni Infantino, fueling
debate over whether political influence played a role.
