Former England and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney criticises FIFA after it changes the disciplinary outcome for U.S. forward Folarin Balogun following a red card. Multiple outlets report Rooney condemns FIFA’s handling of the case, describing the decision as a “disgrace” and saying FIFA “should be ashamed.” The criticism centres on FIFA’s decision to suspend or adjust Balogun’s one-match ban after the red card in the United States’ match against Bosnia at the 2026 World Cup. Yahoo Sports and others describe the situation as ongoing, with the World Cup Round of 16 continuing as the disciplinary matter remains in focus. The Manchester Evening News and The Mirror both highlight Rooney’s strong language directed at FIFA, while the New York Post similarly reports his reaction as particularly forceful. The reports agree that Rooney is questioning FIFA’s involvement and the process that leads to the suspension change connected to Balogun’s red card.
