Revoking Folarino Balogun's disqualification before the USA quarterfinal match against Belgium was the decision of one person.

According to "The Times" newspaper, in an important World Cup decision, 18 members of the FIFA committee had the right to speak, but the decision was made based on the opinion of just one person.

That person was FIFA Disciplinary Committee Chairman Mohamma al-Khamali.

When the decision was made, there was speculation in the media about the involvement of US President Donald Trump and the White House, which was eventually confirmed.
