Pochettino applauds FIFA for revoking Balogun ban

Mauricio Pochettino praised FIFA for revoking the one‑game ban on US striker Folarin Balogun, calling the red card harsh and unfair.

Mauricio Pochettino hailed FIFA's decision to lift the one‑game ban on Folarin Balogun after the striker received a red card in the US versus Bosnia Herzegovina match. He said the call was harsh and unfair and that fans who value ethics should celebrate the change.

Balogun will return for the US’s World Cup last‑16 clash against Belgium, while the decision reflects FIFA’s willingness to correct what it deemed an unjust sanction. forestarrow.rest
