Folarin Balogun, the US forward, had his one-game ban suspended by FIFA on Sunday. This decision allows him to participate in the United States’ World Cup round of 16 game against Belgium on Monday.
Balogun received a red card for stepping on the foot of Tarik Muharemović of Bosnia and Herzegovina in a 2-0 round of 32 win on Wednesday. However, FIFA has decided to suspend the implementation of the match suspension for a probationary period of one year.
The U.S. Soccer Federation stated that they will not make Balogun available for comment on Sunday. The host US is seeking to reach the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.
