SOCCER
— In an unprecedented move, FIFA has lifted the red-card suspension of U.S. star forward Folarin Balogun, making him eligible for Monday’s World Cup knockout match against Belgium. The decision comes after Donald Trump personally called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to request a review of the penalty. Balogun, who leads the U.S. with three goals in the tournament, was ejected on Wednesday during a match against Bosnia. FIFA’s ruling marks the first time since 1962 that a World Cup red card did not result in an automatic suspension, drawing strong praise from U.S. officials but triggering outrage and allegations of unfair play from the Belgian team.

NASCAR
— Chase Briscoe held off Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christopher Bell to win NASCAR’s Cup Series race Sunday night in the sport’s return to Chicagoland Speedway.
