A single disciplinary official, Mohammad Al-Kamali, annuls Folarin Balogun's red-card suspension after a call from former President Donald Trump to Fédération Internationale de Football Association President Gianni Infantino, enabling Balogun to play in the US round of 16 loss to Belgium.The move contradicts the association's code because an 18-member Disciplinary Committee normally enforces an automatic one-game ban for red cards and the federation has not published a legal rationale for the decision.Players, national federations and fans demand an explanation and call for a review of governance procedures to prevent political influence from overriding written disciplinary rules at the
World Cup.
