Historic World Cup furor at ‘incomprehensible’ FIFA decision to let U.S. forward Balogun play

An all-time controversy in the World Cup’s 96-year history rages Monday ahead of the co-host United States facing Belgium with a quarterfinals place at stake. The Belgian soccer federation is challenging FIFA’s ruling to let Balogun play despite getting a red card in his previous game. Belgium's statement came just 11 hours before kickoff in Seattle. European soccer body UEFA criticizes FIFA's “incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision.” UEFA says FIFA “crossed a red line” with its decision not to enforce Balogun’s mandatory one-game ban, after coming under pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump.
