Folarin Balogun red card questioned by USMNT teammates after World Cup win
Summary

Folarin Balogun received a red card in the U.S. men's national team's World Cup round of 32 match against Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 1. After scoring the opening goal before halftime, Balogun was sent off in the 64th minute for a challenge on Tarik Muharemović. Teammates Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams both criticized the decision, asserting it should have been a yellow card instead. The USMNT secured a 2-0 victory without Balogun. He will miss the upcoming round of 16 match against Belgium, and further disciplinary action from FIFA is possible.
