Born in Brooklyn, raised in England, and once eyed by England’s youth ranks and Nigeria’s national team, Balogun’s choice of the Stars and Stripes has already paid off in dazzling fashion — becoming the first American to score multiple goals in a World Cup match since 1930. His first goal came off Christian Pulisic’s record-setting assist, and he sealed the game with a second before halftime, turning heads and rewriting U.S. soccer history.
