Folarin Balogun red card, explained: What controversial call means for USMNT star’s availability for Round of 16

Folarin Balogun, who had scored to give the USMNT a 1-0 lead against Bosnia and Herzegovina, was shown a straight red card during the match, reducing Mauricio Pochettino's side to 10 men for the remainder of the game. The red card received by the AS Monaco striker raises questions about his availability for the United States' Round of 16 fixture. The incident occurred after Balogun had already made a decisive impact with his first-half goal.
