## Resource

Despite his red card against Bosnia, FIFA have cleared Folarin Balogun to feature in the USA’s clash with Belgium on Monday night. It's one of the most disgraceful decisions in the history of football. From the Trump lead FIFA corruption, to the horrible and embarrassing fan chants, to the obnoxious and entitled takes on social media about how to "improve a game" Americans watch every 4 years, the WORLD NEEDS BELGIUM TO WIN TONIGHT.
