Balogun Suspension Confirmed for US vs Belgium

The American team will have to play without Balogun, who was ejected for inadvertently stepping on an opponent's lower leg during Wednesday night's win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite being shorthanded for over 30 minutes, the US team doubled their 1-0 lead and advanced to the Round of 16. fish-roadgame.com

Balogun described the situation as a 'roller coaster' of emotions, saying he's been 'upset' and 'happy' but emphasized the importance of staying calm. 'There's still lots of people we're inspiring, little kids, boys and girls who are watching, and we have to show them the correct way to handle things even when you think it's unjust,' he told reporters.
