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?
Wimbledon has reached the Round of 16, and several of the tournament's biggest storylines are taking shape. On the women's side, Naomi Osaka pulled off one of the tournament's biggest upsets by knocking out World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in straight sets to reach her first Wimbledon quarterfinal. Coco Gauff also advanced to her first Wimbledon quarterfinal, and Karolína Muchová eliminated defending champion Barbora Krejčíková, guaranteeing that a new women's singles champion will be crowned this year.
