## Resource

Folarin Balogun’s USMNT heroics keep soaring—scoring, setting up goals, and now pulling off a rare act of sportsmanship. During the fiery 2-0 win over Australia, referee Felix Zwayer crumbled from heat-induced cramps, and Balogun and Aussie player Aiden ONeill stepped in to help stretch him out on the pitch. Medical staff rushed over with a mystery sports drink (possibly pickle juice) as Zwayer gulped it down. It’s a wild, human moment that underscores how brutal soccer is for everyone—from players to officials—and proves Balogun’s game is as big-hearted as it is skillful.
