Reese, Kmac and Alex discuss 4th of July celebrations, FIFA reversing Folarin Balogun's suspension and more.

We are back from 4th of July weekend! How was your weekend?

FIFA has ruled that Folarin Balogun will be available to play for the United States against Belgium in the Round of 16 tonight, despite the straight red card he received against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Normally, a straight red results in an automatic one-match suspension, but FIFA used a rarely invoked disciplinary provision to suspend the ban on probation instead of requiring it to be served immediately. That means Balogun can play, although the suspension could be reinstated if he commits another serious disciplinary offense during the probation period. The decision has drawn criticism, with Belgium's football federation calling it surprising and considering its options, but it gives the U.S. a significant boost as Balogun, one of the team's top scorers, remains available for a crucial knockout match. Should FIFA have reversed Folarin Balogun's Red-Card Suspension? Is this fair?
