Summary
USMNT striker Folarin Balogun has spoken publicly for the first time about FIFA's controversial decision to suspend his red card, which allowed him to play in the World Cup round of 16 match against Belgium. FIFA used Article 27 of its Disciplinary Code to suspend the automatic one-match ban Balogun received after his red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite this, the United States were ultimately knocked out of the World Cup by Belgium.
