USA Star Balogun Suspended for Belgium Clash

Published July 2, 2026 · Updated July 2, 2026 · Fox Sports

USA striker Folarin Balogun will miss the Round of 16 match against Belgium due to an automatic one-game suspension following his red card against Bosnia.

Balogun is the first player to score and receive a red card in a World Cup knockout match since Zinedine Zidane in 2006. The U.S. has no path to appeal the standard one-game suspension, but could challenge an extension if FIFA's disciplinary panel deems the challenge warrants more time off. chickenroad.qpon
