Balogun's World Cup Moment

Folarin Balogun is poised to be the breakout star of the U.S. Men’s National Team at the 2026 World Cup, having exploded with 19 goals and 5 assists for AS Monaco this season—including an 11-goal streak in Ligue 1. With nine goals in 27 caps and a recent strike against Senegal, he’s primed to cement his legacy on the world’s biggest stage. While Ricardo Pepi and goalkeepers Matt Turner and Matt Freese also have strong cases, Balogun’s speed, work ethic, and scoring consistency make him the most likely candidate to become the next household name in U.S. soccer—just like Pulisic or Donovan. The World Cup’s spotlight is on him to deliver when it matters most. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
