USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino focuses on Folarin Balogun’s sending off after the United States advances to the World Cup round of 16 with a win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Multiple outlets report that Balogun scores in the match and is then shown a red card after about an hour for a challenge on Bosnia midfielder Tarik Muharemovic. Pochettino publicly criticizes the decision, saying it is “never a red card,” and frames the moment as a major talking point despite the result. With the next match approaching, the coaching staff and team must also address the implications for availability and match preparation. One report notes that the immediate outcome is that Balogun will miss the following game, described as the team’s biggest match in decades, while another discusses that the broader situation is tied to whether the red card is upheld or rescinded. Overall, the sources agree the USMNT move on, but the controversy around the red card dominates the post-match discussion.
