This move is a game-changer for the U.S., who haven’t reached the quarterfinals in over two decades and have struggled in past knockout rounds against teams like Belgium and the Netherlands. With Balogun back in the lineup, the team’s chances of advancing soar — a huge boost for both players and fans chasing a historic run.
