00:00Huge controversy at the World Cup.
00:02US striker Balogun has had his suspension overturned by FIFA.
00:06and is cleared to strengthen the US team in the game against Belgium.
00:11For those who don't remember, Balogun is one of the standout players on that US team.
00:14Perhaps the main offensive threat for the US national team.
00:18And in the last game, against Bosnia and Herzegovina, he ended up receiving a red card.
00:22after a hard foul on an opposing player.
00:25We contacted FIFA and the United States Soccer Federation.
00:29but neither entity wanted to comment.
00:32So the question remains, isn't FIFA setting a dangerous precedent here?
00:37What if it were a different player from a different national team than the United States?
00:41Would he have received the same benefit?
00:45Or will this decision ultimately be driven by this player's appeal?
00:49With the American audience?
00:50Remember that the United States is hosting this World Cup.
00:54I want to know your opinion. What did you think of FIFA's decision?

00:59And there
