USMNT striker Folarin Balogun will be eligible to play against Belgium after FIFA overturned his recent red card suspension. The decision is unexpected, given the initial dismissal during his last match. Reports indicate that former US President Donald Trump may have played a role in the reversal, with Trump himself expressing delight at the outcome. The move has been met with astonishment by Belgian officials and observers. Details regarding the exact nature of Trump’s involvement remain unclear, but the timing is raising eyebrows. FIFA has not officially commented on any external influence in the case, only stating a review led to the rescission. This outcome allows Balogun to continue representing the US team in this crucial match.
