Balogun Suspended for Belgium Match

Balogun, who scored in the 2-0 win over Bosnia, was sent off in the 64th minute for stepping on opponent Tarik Muharemović's ankle. The automatic one-match suspension means the U.S. will be without its leading tournament goalscorer for the crucial match on Monday in Seattle. chickenroadslot.lat

With a quarterfinals spot on the line, U.S. manager Mauricio Pochettino could turn to Ricardo Pepi or Haji Wright to replace Balogun, or potentially deploy Christian Pulisic in a 'false No. 9' position. The U.S. had no path to appeal the standard one-match suspension.
