· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
FIFA has lifted the suspension of U.S. forward Folarin Balogun, allowing him to play against Belgium in the World Cup after intervention from President Donald Trump. Balogun, who scored three goals for the U.S., received a red card for a foul during a match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The suspension was met with praise from Trump and outrage from the Belgian team, which expressed disbelief at FIFA's decision. Balogun's availability was confirmed to the U.S. team on Sunday, and he expressed that a yellow card would have been more appropriate. FIFA's ruling includes a one-year probation period for any future infractions.
