## Resource

Folarin Balogun’s red card suspension got delayed by FIFA, letting him play in the USMNT’s crucial match against Belgium — a move that shocked the Belgians, who’ve been granted the right to appeal, possibly before kickoff. The drama just deepened when reports surfaced that former President Trump personally called FIFA’s president, with White House and Commerce officials involved, sparking serious questions about political interference in sports — all while the world watches to see if the appeal will change the outcome.
