#广场预测世界杯赢40000U FIFA Suspends US Forward Balogun's Ban, Norway Coach: This Is a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad Decision

According to AFP, Norway head coach Ståle Solbakken publicly criticized FIFA's decision to suspend the ban on US forward Balogun on the 5th local time, bluntly stating that FIFA had made a "major mistake."
Earlier that day, FIFA announced that US forward Folarin Balogun would be eligible to play in the World Cup round of 16 match against Belgium. Although he received a red card in the previous game defeating Bosnia, he will temporarily not be suspended. Sources revealed that the White House called FIFA President Infantino to request a review of Balogun's red card.
Solbakken said, "I have to be frank, I think this is a major mistake by FIFA," "He received a red card. The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) also determined it was a red card. He was sent off. That means you have to serve a one-game suspension."
Solbakken said, "I think what is really bad about this is that it may always hang over the US team. Because if they beat Belgium, this matter will always be an additional topic."
"This is a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad decision that will hurt the World Cup." Solbakken said, I also feel sorry for the US team. This matter will always hang over any victory they might achieve. FIFA made a bad decision.
Solbakken also added that this ruling was made after US President Trump personally appealed to Infantino. However, as of press time, the White House has not responded to this claim.
Earlier, FIFA announced on the 5th that it had imposed a one-game suspension on Balogun, who was sent off in the match against Bosnia, and deferred the penalty for one year. This allows the US team's top scorer to play in the World Cup round of 16 match against Belgium.
Balogun currently leads the US team's scoring list with 3 goals. In the round of 32 match on July 1 where the US team defeated Bosnia 2-0, he was sent off for stepping on the foot of opposing player Tarik Muharemovic. For violating Articles 14 and 66 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee imposed a one-game suspension on him, and according to Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has the authority to fully or partially defer a disciplinary penalty, and the suspension for Balogun was deferred for one year.
