Historic World Cup furor at an “incomprehensible” FIFA decision to let U.S. forward Balogun play has fueled controversy ahead of Monday’s round of 16 between the co-host United States and Belgium, with a quarterfinals berth at stake. Belgium is challenging FIFA’s ruling allowing Balogun to play after he received a red card in the prior match, and its statement arrived 11 hours before kickoff in Seattle. UEFA criticized the choice as “incomprehensible and unjustifiable,” saying FIFA “crossed a red line” by not enforcing Balogun’s mandatory one-game ban, while also noting pressure after U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in. The broader tournament day also featured England’s 3-2 comeback win over Mexico at Estadio Azteca and Norway’s first-ever World Cup quarterfinal spot with a 2-1 win over Brazil.
