Summary
It’s U.S. Men’s National Team matchday and we… have a bit of a sour taste in our mouths. Sure, we are happy that Folarin Balogun can play in tonight’s match against Belgium. We just don’t like the optics of FIFA appearing to make up rules to suspend his red card, seemingly at the behest of the current tenant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Does anyone come across looking good here? How is Belgium taking the news? More positively, what’s our outlook for this match? It’s clear that Mauricio Pochettino won’t have any qualms about playing Balogun in a knockout round game, so does he improve the USA’s chances? Will simply having Flo available boost the squad’s morale? Robert and Jason give their thoughts on what will happen tonight. Also, Palm Beach, Florida is moving closer to having a stadium for their future USL expansion side. https://www.youtube.com/@MorningKickaround You can now support the show on Ko-Fi!
