Belgium 'Astonished' By Balogun Ruling

The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) has expressed shock at FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States striker Folarin Balogun eligible for Monday's round of 16 match in Seattle. The Belgian governing body argues that FIFA has contradicted its own rules, specifically Article 66.4 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code which states that a red card automatically results in a one-match suspension. chickenroad-game.rodeo

According to the RBFA, the same rule has been consistently applied throughout this FIFA World Cup. The federation is now investigating 'all potential options' to address what they consider a violation of fair play principles.
