I finally found out that 2 hours ago the appeal was denied.
Do the current number of yellow cards go away after the next game is over? Surely it doesn't count through the final game?
I believe yellow cards are wiped out again after the quarterfinals.
I read somewhere that Belgium is trying to appeal to the CAS, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, to get them to rule Balogun ineligible. Technically a decision could come after the match, and then Belgium would apparently ask the court essentially deem them the winners since the US played an ineligble player.
Personally I think the Belgium FA needs to stop at this point. You filed your FIFA appeal. Fine. More on.
