Mauricio Pochettino praises Fifa for Balogun U-turn: ‘We celebrate the decision’

Mauricio Pochettino praised FIFA for suspending Folarin Balogun's one-game ban, enabling the US striker to play against Belgium in the World Cup last 16 this Monday. Pochettino described the original red card as harsh and unfair, stating that those who value ethics and integrity should celebrate the decision. He referenced a previous unfair situation against Bosnia Herzegovina where the team played with ten men, asserting that nearly everyone agreed the Balogun red card was unjustified.
