Former US goalkeeper says Fifa 'wrong' for Balogun red card decision

Former US Men's goalkeeper and English premier league veteran Brad Friedel has called the decision to suspend US striker Folarin Balogun's match-ban 'wrong', adding that it opens up a 'can of worms' for other government interventions. Folarin Balogun had a red card match-ban overturned following intervention by President Donald Trump, who says he called Fifa President Gianni Infantino about the decision. Despite this, the US lost 1-4 against Belgium, but Friedel said it was 'a shame' that the controversy took over the buildup to the game. #worldcup #football #fifa #balogun #redcard • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
