FIFA lifts Balogun's red card ban for World Cup
Hey DripCaster, we are bringing you this special drip that covers the latest on the World Cup. Alright, let's go!
Folarin Balogun will be available for the United States men's national team in their upcoming World Cup round of 16 match against Belgium after FIFA suspended his one-game red card ban. Balogun received the red card during the U.S. victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, but FIFA's Disciplinary Committee invoked Article 27 of its code, allowing for the suspension to be lifted for a probationary period of one year. U.S. President Donald Trump praised FIFA's decision, stating, "Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right, and reversing a great injustice!" In other news, the World Cup continues with two significant matches today. Brazil faces Norway at MetLife Stadium, while Mexico takes on England at Estadio Azteca. Brazil enters the match after a narrow win over Japan, while Norway advanced by defeating Ivory Coast. Mexico, having won all their matches without conceding a goal, will look to maintain their strong form against England, who recently overcame DR Congo.
