Balogun Back for World Cup Clash | Minneapolis News

Folarin Balogun, the U.S. Men’s National Team’s top scorer, is cleared to play in the crucial World Cup clash against Belgium after FIFA overturned his red card suspension — a major boost for the team’s quest to reach the quarterfinals for the first time in over two decades. The controversial red card, awarded after a collision with a Bosnian defender that many believed was accidental, was typically non-appealable — but Balogun’s reinstatement, backed by U.S. Soccer’s active appeal, has reignited team morale. With three goals already this tournament, Balogun’s physical presence and scoring threat are exactly what the U.S. needs to turn the tide against Belgium and keep their World Cup dreams alive.
