The United States received a major boost as FIFA cleared star striker Folarin Balogun to play against Belgium after overturning his red card. Using Chapter 4, Article 27, FIFA granted Balogun one-year probation instead of a suspension, marking the first such reversal in 64 years.
The last player to have a red card rescinded was Brazil's Garrincha in 1962, whose case involved political intervention from Latin American presidents. sweetbonanza-app.com
