Multiple outlets report that FIFA suspends two United States soccer staff members for the team’s World Cup match against Belgium. The suspensions keep team manager Sam Zapatka and Frank Pannell—described as the US Soccer vice-president of security—from attending Monday’s game. Reports note that FIFA does not publicly provide a specific reason for the decision. The Guardian adds that the suspensions occur amid an ongoing “Balogun” controversy, but it also states that FIFA has not confirmed any link to that matter. Other coverage characterizes the suspensions as unexplained or “mysterious,” and focuses on the fact that the affected staff members are not permitted to be present for the match. Overall, the reporting is consistent on who was suspended and that they missed the Belgium fixture, while differing only in speculation about possible connections, with no outlet citing an official explanation from FIFA.
