Folarin Balogun's playing status for USA vs. Belgium remains uncertain

Folarin Balogun's availability for the USA's Round of 16 match against Belgium is in question. FIFA ruled Balogun would not serve a one-match suspension due to a red card, but Belgium has filed an appeal challenging this decision. The appeal process is ongoing, with both teams required to submit their cases by early Monday morning. As of now, Balogun is set to play, but this could change based on FIFA’s response before the match kicks off at 8 p.m. ET. The outcome of the appeal will directly impact the USA's lineup and strategy against Belgium.
