## Resource

The whole gang is here to react to, perhaps, the biggest story of the World Cup: the U.S. government reportedly leaning on FIFA to suspend USMNT star Folarin Balogun's red card suspension. Does this put an asterisk on a U.S. run from this point forward? We discuss that and look at England's wild win over Mexico and Norway's victory over Brazil. JOIN THE TSS+ PATREON!
