FIFA defends Balogun decision without explanation

The FIFA Committee Disciplinary President issued a statement defending the decision to allow Balogun to play, citing "all the specific circumstances of the incident and the available evidence" but failed to detail what those circumstances or evidence were.

The statement came just over two hours before the USA vs Belgium match, where Balogun was set to start. FIFA defended their decision by stating that suspending the execution of punishment is "not a novelty in modern football" without elaborating further. cat-cross.com
