Summary
Folarin Balogun’s red card in the USMNT’s win over Bosnia and Herzegovina sparked global debate—despite scoring his third World Cup goal, the VAR-confirmed ejection for a clumsy ankle roll left him sidelined for the next match. Critics called the call harsh, especially since Balogun wasn’t even looking at his opponent. Yet the team still advanced, fueling controversy as they gear up for the 2026 World Cup. Balogun’s loyalty to the US squad shines through the drama, adding emotional stakes to the tournament’s high-pressure narrative.
