FIFA’s Appeal Committee rejected a challenge by Belgian soccer authorities to the eligibility of U.S. Men’s National Team striker Folarin Balogun to play against Belgium in a World Cup knockout game in Seattle on Monday night.
FIFA, soccer’s international governing body, said that the Royal Belgian Football Association challenge “was rendered inadmissible on the grounds that the RBFA is not a party to the proceedings and, as such, has no standing to appeal the decision” to give Balogun a one-game suspension.

I want him to shut up before he pisses someone at FIFA off. You got the credit, now zip it.

Before I even saw your comment I thought, "Great! We win!"
The fact that there's precedent should tell everyone else to shut the fuck up. Also, if you look, Ronaldo wasn't the only other example.

Huh. That's just.... weird.
Maybe richer countries soccer is less of a lottery ticket/escape from poverty? Odd that Norway's youth unemployment is so high.
