Summary
The USMNT win their FIRST knockout game in over 20 years, defeating Bosnia-Herzegovina despite going down to 10-men after a controversial red card was issued to star striker Folarin Balogun (who is also suspended for the next round). Mauricio Pochettino’s men controlled the game with standout performances by midfielders Weston McKennie and Malik Tillman (the latter sealing the victory with a 2nd half free-kick golazo). But Balogun’s suspension looms large as the U.S. Men’s National Team look to get revenge on Belgium who previously knocked them out during the 2014 World Cup. Herculez Gomez and Sebi Salazar break down the USMNT’s inspired effort after going a man down and look ahead to the Belgium matchup. Will the US need Christian Pulisic to take control of the team, and who will fill in the absence of goals left behind by the team’s leading goal scorer at this World Cup?
