FIFA lifts Schorsing from Balogun on reduced terms – Trump is happy

Folarin Balogun's red card penalty was commuted to a one-year temporary penalty. The United States striker received a straight red card in the round of 16 against Bosnia and Herzegovina, but his suspension was adjusted. This means Balogun can start the game against Belgium. On Wednesday night, the United States won 2-0 against Bosnia. Balogun opened the scoring record himself, but received a red card from referee Raphael Claus after an hour. There was a lot of discussion about it after the game. FIFA has since announced that the red card penalty has been adjusted by the disciplinary committee, meaning he is fit to play again. This is good news for the USA as Balogun had already scored three goals in this World Cup tournament. The AS Monaco player continues his goalscoring hunt on the night from Monday to Tuesday. At 2:00 a.m. the USA will take the field against Belgium in the round of 16. American President Donald Trump also commented positively on the news. He immediately spoke up on his social media: 'Thank you to FIFA for doing the right thing and taking back the wrong.'
