Balogun Gets Probation After Red Card | Dallas News
Description
Folarin Balogun, the U.S. men’s national team’s top scorer, was set to miss the crucial Round of 16 clash against Belgium after a straight red card in the Bosnia game—but FIFA just overturned his suspension, giving him a one-year probationary pass. With three goals in four games, his return is a huge boost for the U.S., who’re chasing their first quarterfinal since 2002. Balogun insists the foul was unintentional, and coach Pochettino agreed—yet under normal rules, that wouldn’t matter. Now, with the U.S. and Belgium set to face off again after their 2014 World Cup showdown, Balogun’s comeback could be the spark the team needs to advance.
