The recent decision by FIFA to lift Folarin Balogun's automatic suspension after he received a red card in his match against Bosnia Herzegovina has sparked outrage from the Belgian federation.
The scenario raises more questions than answers. On one hand, FIFA's review and reversal of Balogun's suspension may be seen as a welcome intervention in pursuit of justice.
