Folarin Balogun is suspended for the United States men’s national team’s World Cup round of 16 match against Belgium after receiving a red card. Multiple reports say the dismissal occurs during the group-stage match, with one account placing the red card in the 64th minute. Because of the red card, Balogun serves an automatic one-game suspension, which prevents him from appearing in the Belgium fixture. Sources also discuss the possibility of a team response, including whether an appeal is available, alongside the need to plan for his absence. With Balogun unavailable, the USMNT must adjust its lineup and consider replacement options for the forward role in the knockout match. The reporting is consistent that the suspension is tied to the red card and that it directly affects participation in the round of 16 game against Belgium.
