UEFA: FIFA Crossed a Red Line by Clearing Balogun to Play vs Belgium

UEFA officially accused FIFA of crossing a "red line" and putting the integrity of football at stake by allowing suspended USA striker Folarin Balogun to play in the round-of-16 World Cup match against Belgium. Balogun had been shown a red card in the previous match. UEFA's statement marks one of the sharpest public disputes between the two governing bodies in recent memory.
