US to Face Belgium in World Cup Showdown as Star Striker's Red Card Ban Lifted The drama surrounding USMNT star striker Folarin Balogun's red card suspension has sparked controversy, threatening to undermine the integrity of the World Cup.

FIFA initially suspended Balogun for a year, only to later lift the ban and allow him to play in Monday's crucial matchup against Belgium.
