5 iulie 2026
In a significant boost for the United States men's national team, striker Folarin Balogun will be eligible to play in their Round of 16 match against Belgium. FIFA's disciplinary committee announced it has rescinded the red card and accompanying one-game suspension that Balogun received during the last-32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. This decision comes as a relief for US fans, as Balogun has been a pivotal figure in their campaign, consistently posing a threat to opposing defenses. The US team aims to reach the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2002, and having Balogun available will be crucial for their aspirations.
