US Now Favored to Win vs. Belgium as Folarin Balogun Reinstated and Set to Play

When the matchup between USA and Belgium became official, Folarin Balogun was expected to miss the game due to getting a red card (he did not deserve) against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The price at BetOnline.ag was USA +100 and Belgium -120.  It's now USA -125 and Belgium +105 or near Even payout odds. 

On Sunday, it was announced that Balogun’s red card was suspended and now USA is the favorite in tonight’s matchup. 

FIFA has suspended the red card USMNT striker Folarin Balogun received in the team's match against Bosnia-Herzegovina..

U.S. President Donald Trump successfully lobbied FIFA to overturn a red card suspension for U.S. striker Folarin Balogun, allowing him to play in the Round of 16 against Belgium. The move, following a personal call to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, has sparked international controversy, though the red card itself was also controversial at the time it was handed out. 

In a statement on their website, FIFA said: "By operation of Article 27 FDC, the implementation of the automatic match suspension for USA player Folarin Balogun is suspended for a probationary period of one [1] year."
