## Resource

Folarin Balogun, the U.S. Men’s National Team’s top scorer, is back in the World Cup lineup against Belgium after FIFA overturned his red card — a rare move that stunned fans and officials alike. The controversial call stemmed from a cleat incident during a game, which many saw as accidental, and the U.S. team was furious with the decision. FIFA’s reversal, with no clear explanation, has left fans wondering, but the result is clear: Balogun’s back on the field, on probation for a year, and the squad is thrilled. Christian Pulisic called him “super happy,” and with the team’s top goal-scorer ready, confidence is high ahead of the big match.
