Balogun’s Birthright Boom for USA

Folarin Balogun exploded onto the World Cup stage with two goals in a stunning 4-1 win over Paraguay, marking the U.S. men’s team’s first four-goal outing in tournament history. Born in Brooklyn to Nigerian parents vacationing in NYC in 2001, he gained U.S. citizenship by birthright under the 14th Amendment — a legal fact some politicians now seek to change. Despite growing up in London and playing for England’s youth squads, Balogun switched allegiances in 2023 and has since proven his choice was spot-on. After the game, he proudly declared his commitment to making U.S. fans proud — and this win could be the spark that lights up the rest of the summer.
