Worlds: Balogun disqualified, or rather not.

Folarin Balogun, an American forward who was shown a red card and sent off during the U.S. team's victory over Bosnia in the Round of 16 of the World Cup, has received a suspension from FIFA. However, this sanction is conditional and suspended for a trial period of one year, effectively allowing Balogun to participate in the upcoming quarterfinal match against Belgium in Seattle. The decision by FIFA has been praised by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who expressed his approval on his social media platform, stating that FIFA had acted justly and corrected a serious injustice.
