Blatter Criticizes FIFA Over Balogun's Red Card Decision
Sepp Blatter, the former FIFA president, condemned the decision by FIFA to uphold the red card issued to US striker Folarin Balogun during a match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Balogun is set to serve a match ban on Sunday, which FIFA announced, stating he would be eligible to play against Belgium in the last 32 clash.
Blatter expressed his discontent, asserting that the red card should have been overturned based on evidence from an independent body. He alleged that the intervention of the US president led to a sudden clearance for Balogun to participate in the World Cup knockout match, questioning the integrity of FIFA and suggesting that football is becoming a political playground.
