United States striker Folarin Balogun was reinstated for the team’s round-of-16 match Monday against Belgium after earning a red card in the previous round, FIFA announced. The card came after replay review showed him inadvertently stepping on the back of the leg of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Tarik Muharemović during the Americans’ 2-0 win. A red card typically means a player is not only sent off in the match he’s playing in, but also suspended for the following one. The FIFA disciplinary committee reviewed the foul and decided to suspend the ban. |
