Mike Lahoud comments on FIFA's decision to suspend Folarin Balogun's one-match ban following his red card: "Here is where it gets dangerous... If they make this call, I'm curious what other calls FIFA is willing to make." Balogun is now cleared to play against Belgium. #FolarinBalogun

is blown right now and I think every single person tuning in every single person hearing this news you and I have the same reaction reaction our jaws are on the ground because I've never seen anything like this happen in our recent memory at a FIFA World Cup this is in my opinion the biggest off-field decision the biggest off-field news at this World Cup and one of the biggest ones in the history of the game in the VAR era so there's two schools of thought in this for me if you're a U.S. soccer fan, as you said, or U.S. football fan, you will be over the moon. Because for me, Flo Balligan has been the best player for the U.S. men's national team. But this is dangerous territory for me. In the beginning, I've always said this, it was never a red card. Yes, you could argue dangerous play, but common sense tells you that never should have gone to the monitor. I stand by this. They got the call wrong from the beginning. But now this is where it becomes dangerous because if you can make this call, I'm saying this as a neutral, not as someone who's an advocate for U.S. soccer. If you make this call, I'm curious what other calls FIFA is willing to make in the knockout round of the World Cup.
