In this case not. A minimum automatic suspension of one match following a red card is not a discretionary option and does not require the decision of a competent body to be enacted. It is a principle embedded in regulations, which cannot be made subject to exceptions, let alone in the middle of a tournament where several other players have been in the same situation and regularly served their suspension.”UEFA expressed concerns with setting a precedent in the tournament and adding questions to the “integrity of the game.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM”Football is the most loved sport in the world because it is a beautiful game and is trusted because it is played everywhere with the same laws,” the statement continued. “A tournament is never a pure standalone and, if the tournament in question is the World Cup, it has the power to drive positive or negative consequences on the game as a whole.”We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision.”Balogun will be available to play on Monday in the Round of 16 match.President Donald Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to ask for a review of the decision, a source told Fox News.Trump, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik and White House task force leader Andrew Giuliani put together a team of lawyers outside the White House to challenge the use of slow-motion replay to give Balogun the red card, according to OutKick founder and Fox News contributor Clay Travis.Belgium was reportedly granted the right to appeal the decision.

“Should Never Have Happened”: Illegal Alien Truck Driver Kills Pennsylvania Trooper

Submitted by American Truckers United,

A Pennsylvania State trooper is the latest victim of the trucking industry’s open borders experiment. This dangerous policy began under the Biden-Harris regime when hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens were issued CDLs, mostly from ten states. The fast-tracking of CDLs for illegal aliens has flooded the industry with drivers who may lack the necessary training, language proficiency, or commitment to American safety standards, endangering lives on our highways every day. Shockingly, this experiment is still running.

Trooper Michael E. Pahira, Jr., 44, was inspecting a semitruck on Interstate 81 on July 1, 2026, when another truck went off the roadway and hit the first vehicle, creating a domino effect and striking the officer. Pahira’s patrol car was parked behind the cab with its emergency lights on as he inspected the vehicle parked on the right shoulder in Cass Township when the deadly chain reaction occurred. The second truck, allegedly driven by 33-year-old Michael Bon, veered off the road, striking Pahira’s side mirror before crashing into the other truck. Both truck cabs caught fire as a result of the impact. Construction workers nearby saw the smoke from the wreck and raced to help the pinned trooper. Pahira was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

As with all of these truck crashes, there is no reporting mechanism either on the crash reports or CMV inspections that document the immigration status or even the type of CDL that was in the driver’s possession at the time of the crash. So when this crash first occurred, there was no discussion of the truck driver’s immigration status. Several experienced industry professionals began asking the same question that’s been asked recently in light of all the crashes being caused by the surge of illegal aliens who were able to be fast-tracked into the trucking industry. Only then did his immigration status come into question and later confirmed

The trucking community, represented by organizations such as American Truckers United, has been raising alarms about this growing threat to highway safety. Without proper tracking, the true scope of the problem remains hidden from the public.

🚨Non-Citizen Truck Drivers Involved in Highway Crisis
This is an urgent wake-up call for every American. Our highways are no longer safe. Reckless immigration policies and weakened licensing standards have unleashed a deadly crisis on our roads. pic.twitter.com/NXrQTivkos

How many crashes like Trooper Pahira’s go unreported as part of the globalist open-border experiment in the trucking industry?

This accident was preventable.

He should never have been in possession of a CDL. Every accident caused by an illegal alien is a preventable accident. Congress must act on the President’s call during the State of the Union to pass Dalilah’s Law. This law would have revoked the CDL this driver had in his possession and would have saved Trooper Pahira’s life.

Pass Dalilah’s Law today. 

Pass The Dalilah Law – A full revocation and ban on CDLs for illegal alien truck drivers!
Read our endorsement. Then call your Senators today and tell them you support The Dalilah Law!

Belgium’s soccer federation on Monday was reportedly given the right to appeal FIFA’s decision to suspend the red card ban it gave USA World Cup star Folarin Balogun.The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) requested a full explanation from FIFA over its decision to suspend USA World Cup star Folarin Balogun’s red card ban, The Athletic reported Monday. The RBFA is also requesting a report from FIFA’s officiating body, according to the report.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!The U.S. and Belgium start their Round of 16 game in Seattle at 8 p.m. ET.FIFA made its decision to lift the suspension on Balogun on Sunday. It appeared to be the first time since 1962 that a red card during a World Cup didn’t result in a suspension. Balogun initially received the red card for stepping on the ankle of Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic after a VAR review.The RBFA said it was “astonished” and Belgium coach Rudi Garcia mocked FIFA’s ruling.”I didn’t know that in the offices of FIFA the fifth of July was the first of April in Europe,” Garcia said through a translator. “The Belgian federation does not defend itself, it does not protect the national team. She defends football in general, she defends her integrity, her ethics. I think it’s the first time in the history of the World Cup that there is this kind of decision.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMGarcia wouldn’t respond when asked about a possible appeal to the Court of the Arbitration for Sport or whether he thought President Donald Trump impacted FIFA’s action.”In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options,” the RBFA said.Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino to ask the organization to review the red card, a source told Fox News.”The implementation of the match suspension is suspended for a probationary period of one year,” FIFA announced. “If Folarin Balogun commits another infringement of a similar nature and gravity during the probationary period, the suspension shall be revoked and the sanction enforced without prejudice to any additional sanction imposed for the new infringement.”U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino lauded FIFA’s move.”We were punished enough against Bosnia and Herzegovina to play with 10 men (for) 30 minutes in a decision that was completely unfair,” he said.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

But I will say this. I wish my sincerest condolences to those two girls lost in that tragic accident. It is an absolute unfortunate situation. And there’s more to the story that you’re not getting,” Battiloro said. “But when the time comes. I will explain it in greater detail.

We are grateful to the Prosecutor’s Office for their efforts as well as the community at large for continuing to keep Maria and Isabella’s memories alive,” Bramnick said.Battiloro allegedly swatted the family’s home in Cranford twice in September 2025, according to Bramnick. He said both incidents took place between Sept. 1 and Sept. 15 in 2025.After the two incidents, Bramnick said the Niotis family wants to know “what went on?””What investigation, if any, went on after all that the family reported and all the information that the police had in their possession. That’s the question. So we need those questions answered,” Bramnick said. “And that’s why we’re involved, because we’re doing our own investigations to try to get to the bottom of those questions.”Fox News Digital reached out to Battiloro’s attorney for comment.

Rafael Nadal, a two-time Wimbledon champion and one of the most successful tennis players of all time, recently revealed that his go-to breakfast is toast with anchovies.Nadal, who retired in 2024, told The Wall Street Journal that he started incorporating anchovies into his morning meal while he was still a professional athlete.”I was not a breakfast guy,” Nadal said. “But later on in my career with the nutritionist [I learned] you have to eat some protein, some carbs.”AMERICANS STILL CRAVE PROTEIN DESPITE RECORD BEEF PRICES AS EXPERT REVEALS THE ‘HEALTHIEST BURGER’Anchovies are saltwater fish that average about five or six inches in length and are typically preserved in salt and packed in olive oil. They have long been a staple of Mediterranean cooking, particularly in Nadal’s native Spain.They have grown in popularity in the U.S. in recent years, along with other seafood in the tinned-fish category, as Americans increasingly seek healthy, convenient foods.”Anchovies are an absolute nutritional dynamo,” Sudi Pigott, a London-based anchovy sommelier and author of “Consider the Anchovy: A Journey in Pursuit of the Little Fish with the Big Flavour,” told Fox News Digital.They are “surprisingly high in protein” for their size, according to the Cleveland Clinic. They’re also “packed with nutrients” and are “among the best fish sources of omega-3 fatty acids, a type of healthy fat your body needs to work well,” according to the medical institution.Research has linked diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids to a lower risk of age-related macular degeneration, Pigott said.”Eating anchovies regularly may also reduce triglyceride levels, slow the buildup of plaque in one’s arteries and reduce blood pressure, as well as [lower the] risk of blood clotting,” she said.TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZAdditionally, anchovies are a plentiful source of B vitamins, calcium, iron, potassium and zinc. They also contain selenium, a powerful antioxidant, she added.Health experts recommend people keep in mind that anchovies typically contain a lot of salt and to eat them in moderation if sodium consumption is a concern.The global tinned-fish market size is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.18% between 2026 and 2031, market research firm Mordor Intelligence reported.The demand for convenience foods that are not processed is also influencing consumer demand toward tinned fish, the company reported.CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWSTikTok interest in tinned fish increased by 91% between 2024 and 2025, Vogue reported. The boom is due in part to new companies like the Fishwife Tinned Seafood Co. that have emerged and rebranded tinned fish in trendy, chic ways.”For years, tinned fish had one reputation: bland, dry, back-of-the-pantry food,” declared a Fishwife TikTok post explaining how the company became “one of the fastest-growing seafood brands in America.”Sustainable seafood advocate Casson Trenor recommends choosing species known as hikari-mono, a Japanese term for silver-skinned fish.”This includes mackerels, sardines, anchovies and more,” Trenor, who lives in Washington state, told Fox News Digital. “These are fast-growing nutritional powerhouses that are generally low in mercury.”Pigott said she sometimes eats anchovies for breakfast, either on toast with plenty of butter or on a cheese scone.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER”Another good way to eat anchovies for breakfast would be with scrambled eggs,” she said.An old-fashioned British dish she recommended is Scotch Woodcock, which calls for “a layer of anchovy paste or anchovy butter to be spread on hot toast, topped with scrambled egg and finished with a couple of fine, whole, salt-cured anchovies in oil.”Anchovy spread can be rolled into a log shape and kept in the refrigerator, Pigott said.
