## Resource

The U.S. men’s national team’s World Cup dreams ended in a shocking 4-1 loss to Belgium, but the drama didn’t stop there—star striker Folarin Balogun, suspended for a red card, was cleared to play, sparking outrage from Belgium and UEFA over what they called an unprecedented and unjustifiable decision. Despite the controversy, the Americans delivered a strong tournament, their first win since 2022, but Belgium advances to face Spain in the quarterfinals.
