The surprise decision, made just days before the high-stakes Round of 16 clash against Belgium, has U.S. Soccer thrilled and players like Pulisic praising Balogun’s sportsmanship. Though the reasoning behind the delay remains vague, it’s a rare move that highlights the nuanced, sometimes flexible, application of VAR and disciplinary rules. With Balogun cleared to play, the U.S. men’s team now eyes a historic win that could match their best World Cup performance in decades.
