🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The Royal Belgian Football Association has released a statement in regard to Folarin Balogun being able to play against them. "The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA–Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time)." "FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction." "However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup." "Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5: "If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed." "The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026." "The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations. "In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options."

@Malc_OE @Adikastakes 🤣🤣 unless it’s Messi and the 5 other examples from this World Cup

@Adikastakes The decision will not be rescinded. The red card is appropriate for that tackle.

FIFA is in trouble, they must rescind that Balogun red card. The whole of the USA is on their case.

@USMNT To the round of 16

TELL US HOW YOU FEELIN' RIGHT NOW

@DomMirandaTV @WTHRcom Caitlin and Sophie trade incoming !

#Fever HC Stephanie White spoke today as the team gets extended time off: 🏀 Sophie Cunningham is out sick 🏀 No update on Caitlin Clark but she’s doing individual work today / not at practice 🏀 White touches on timing of the break and what to work on this week @WTHRcom

The Self Proclaimed “Chosen One,” LeBron James is leaving the Lakers. What is your Honest Reaction to this News?

@DBGyt_ If they were smart they would do everything to trade for CC and Sophie! CC has already stated she loves the bay. She love Steph Curry! Having them play in the same building would be 🔥! I would selfishly prefer her in LA though . But the Valks are ready now

The Valks are 1 offensive engine away from being the best team in the W...

@RealMattCouch @sophaller @ShowMe_Pod 🤣🤣

😂😂😂

@DBGyt_ It’s so obvious

This team looks like they've given up...

The word is out. Play the fever the full length of the floor. Rough them up and it all falls apart! The Fever are not a physically intimidating team. They are finesse. When they get stuck in Steph whites half court motion they are a mid team ! #IndianaFever

@kenswift She made it. But the that is terrible offense. She hurts everyone when the ball is in her hands. She needs to be a spot shooter and cutter. That’s it

Kelsey did the Erica Wheeler

@sophaller 🤣🤣

you guys read too much into things. that’s THE EXACT play our coach drew up and we executed it perfectly!

@IndianaFever @Xfinity @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA

Get to know Caitlin Clark presented by @Xfinity 🐆🩵🏝️

@AmberLCox @chiney Then I’m sure AB would bounce as soon as possible.

To paraphrase @chiney… She didn’t move the needle. She IS the needle! Congrats to CC!

We need to aura farm these game winners with "I Love LA" in the background. Decisions have to be made.😤

@sophaller 🙏🏼

stressin me tf out

@DayDreamThis @LucyOlsenbball and the @WashMystics coach! If you find the other photo the towel guy on the ground in #Priceless

This is the road announcer. Great shot CC.

@YoitsRosie @LucyOlsenbball knows what’s up!

Omg 😭

@LASparks Imagine this staring 5 , with Kate as 6th off the bench

Keeping with our same five today.

@IndianaFever @CaitlinClark22 @sophaller @Kelseyplum10 @LASparks
