FIFA has overturned a one-game suspension for U.S. men's national soccer team striker Folarin Balogun, allowing him to play in the upcoming World Cup match against Belgium. Balogun received a red card in a previous game, which typically results in an automatic ban. However, FIFA's Disciplinary Committee suspended the ban for a probationary year, a decision that has drawn astonishment from the Royal Belgian Football Association. President Donald Trump publicly thanked FIFA for reversing what he called a "great injustice." AI
