Balogun suspended for World Cup round of 16, appeal barred

Balogun suspended for World Cup round of 16, appeal barred

FIFA’s disciplinary regulations prohibit any appeal of a straight-red-card suspension, meaning the United States will be without forward Folarin Balogun for its round-of-16 clash with Belgium, Yahoo Sports reported. This rule applies automatically once a player receives a direct red, leaving the decision final. Consequently, the U. S.

coaching staff must adjust its lineup for the upcoming knockout match. The New York Times detailed that Balogun was sent off after a foul on Bosnia’s Tarik Muharemovic in the round of 32, with VAR confirming the referee’s decision. Because the suspension is mandatory and non-appealable, Balogun will miss the Belgium game, as reiterated by the later Yahoo Sports follow-up.
