Pochettino disputes red card for Balogun in USMNT win over Bosnia

USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino criticized the red card given to striker Folarin Balogun during their 2-0 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 1. Balogun received the red card in the 64th minute following a controversial VAR review for a collision with Tarik Muharemovic. Pochettino stated that the incident was unintentional and not deserving of a red card. Despite being a man down, the USMNT maintained composure and extended their lead with a goal from Malik Tillman in the 82nd minute. Balogun is set to miss the next match against Belgium on July 6 due to the suspension.
