Summary
The U.S. men’s team stunned with a 2-0 win over Bosnia, advancing to the knockout round for just the second time in World Cup history. Folarin Balogun gave them the lead early, but his controversial red card in the 64th minute left them down a man — and tested their resolve. Christian Pulisic praised their grit, while Malik Tillman sealed the victory with a stunning free kick in the 81st minute. Balogun, now top scorer with three goals, will sit out the next match against Belgium due to suspension — a call Coach Pochettino fiercely disagreed with, calling it “never a red card.” Now, the U.S. faces a daunting rematch against Belgium in Seattle, aiming to overcome past defeats and make history on home soil.
