Shock Defeat: USA Knocked Out by Belgium Amidst Explosive Balogun Controversy
United States crashed out of their home World Cup in the last 16 as Folarin Balogun proved a peripheral figure in a comfortable 4-1 Belgium win in Seattle.
Balogun, controversially sent off in the USA’s win over Bosnia-Herzegovina in the round of 32, was cleared to play against Belgium, with FIFA suspending his automatic one-game ban by a year.
US president Donald Trump confirmed reports he had called FIFA president Gianni Infantino to request for the incident to be reviewed. Infantino insisted the decision was made autonomously by the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee.
