Belgium Coach Rudi Garcia Blasts FIFA April Fools Ruling On Folarin Balogun

Garcia blasted FIFA for overturning Balogun's suspension. “I didn’t know that at the World Cup, as at FIFA, the 5th of July is actually the first of April. It’s April Fools,” he said, per Fabrizio Romano. The move followed White House lobbying and astonished Belgium. “We’re not defending the national team or federation; we are defending football and integrity.”
