FIFA suspended the one-game red-card ban for 25-year-old striker Folarin Balogun, clearing him to be selected for the U.S. round-of-16 match against Belgium at Lumen Field in Seattle on Monday. Balogun had received a straight red card for a foul on Bosnia defender Tarik Muharemovic in the U.S.'s previous game, a sanction that normally carries an automatic one-game suspension under Article 10.5. FIFA said it suspended implementation of the match suspension under article 27 of the disciplinary code and placed the sanction on a one-year probationary period. FIFA warned that if Balogun commits another infringement of a similar nature and gravity during the probationary year the suspension will be revoked and enforced, potentially with additional sanctions. The Athletic first reported the development and FIFA confirmed Balogun’s eligibility; U.S. Soccer said it accepted and was pleased with the decision. Players learned of the change on the team bus; Christian Pulisic said the news gave the team a boost and defender Chris Richards recounted that Balogun’s reaction was "Lit." Balogun has started all but one U.S. game at the tournament, scored twice in the opener against Paraguay, scored in the Bosnia match, and has recorded at least one goal contribution in every World Cup game he has played so far.
