FIFA has suspended Folarin Balogun's World Cup ban, allowing the USA striker to play in their last-16 tie, following reports that Donald Trump contacted FIFA president Gianni Infantino before the stunning decision was made. The Belgian FA expressed 'astonishment' at the ruling, as Belgium are the opponents USA face in the knockout round. The move has sparked controversy over alleged political interference in football's governing body.
