Astonished Belgium vow to ‘defend football’ after Fifa’s shock Balogun reversal

Belgian football officials and players are expressing shock and vowing to defend the integrity of the sport after FIFA's unexpected reversal of US striker Folarin Balogun's suspension. Coach Rudi Garcia compared the decision to an April Fools' Day prank, while the Belgian FA is looking into all possible legal avenues. The U.S. Men's National Team was equally stunned, with some members joking they thought it was an AI error. This sudden change has raised questions about FIFA's decision-making process and its impact on the fairness of international football competitions.
