Mauricio Pochettino praises Fifa for Balogun U-turn: ‘We celebrate the decision’

• Trump called Infantino to reverse Balogun ban

• US plays Belgium in World Cup last 16 on Monday

Mauricio Pochettino hailed Fifa's shock decision to suspend Folarin Balogun's one-game ban on Sunday, reiterating his claim that the call to issue the US striker a red card was harsh.

Everyone that really loves the sport and trusts ethics and integrity, I think we celebrate all that decision," Pochettino said. We were punished enough against Bosnia Herzegovina to play with 10 men for 30 minutes [because of] a decision that was completely unfair. ... 99.9% of people agree there was an unfair red card."
