Belgium's football team has been dealt a major blow ahead of the World Cup, as the country's players and fans are reeling from a contentious decision by FIFA's governing body. The organization has cleared Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun to play in the World Cup for England, despite Belgium's claims that he is not eligible to represent the Three Lions due to his birthplace and residency. The decision has sparked outrage among Belgian football officials, who argue that Balogun's eligibility should be reviewed based on his strong ties to the country. As England prepares to face Iran in their World Cup opener, the controversy surrounding Balogun's eligibility is set to dominate the headlines and raise questions about FIFA's rules and regulations.
