Belgium 'Astonished' by Balogun Ruling

Belgium's football association is astonished by FIFA's decision to allow suspended US striker Folarin Balogun to play in their round of 16 match, calling it a contradiction of FIFA's own rules.

The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) released a statement expressing astonishment at FIFA's ruling to clear Balogun for the Monday match in Seattle. The RBFA argues this decision contradicts Articles 66.4 and 10.5 of FIFA regulations, which state red cards automatically result in one-match suspension. newsbetting.club

The Belgian governing body is now "investigating all potential options" to protect "the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play," according to their statement.
