Balogun red card reshapes USMNT’s World Cup outlook
TL;DR Summary
Folarin Balogun starred for the USMNT in a 2-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina, but was shown a straight red in the 61st minute after a VAR review for stepping on Tarik Muharemovic. The dismissal could sideline him for the Round of 16 against Belgium, complicating the USA’s chances despite the victory, with coach Mauricio Pochettino calling the decision unintentional and the team bracing for life without its leading striker.
