· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Belgian Football Federation has demanded explanations from FIFA regarding its decision to allow U.S. forward Folarin Balogun to play in the upcoming World Cup match despite receiving a red card in his previous game. Belgium is set to face the U.S. on Monday for a spot in the quarterfinals. The federation claims it has not received any communication from FIFA about the decision and plans to contest Balogun's eligibility. Balogun, who has scored three goals in the tournament, received a red card for a foul, triggering an automatic one-match suspension, which FIFA lifted just before the match. This unprecedented move has drawn criticism from Belgium and the European Commission.
