Pochettino Applauds FIFA for Reversing Balogun Ban

Mauricio Pochettino applauded FIFA for reversing the one‑game ban on English striker Folarin Balogun, saying the red‑card decision was harsh and that the move should be celebrated by all who value the sport's integrity.

The decision came after a call from the U.S. to FIFA’s president Gianni Infantino, and just days before the United States faced Belgium in the World Cup last‑16. Pochettino noted that the earlier 10‑man penalty against Bosnia & Herzegovina was also unfair, echoing the view that 99.9% of fans agreed the red‑card was unjust. betsport24.es
