Despite Folarin Balogun no longer being suspended for the United States-Belgium game, the betting odds for Monday’s round of 16 clash are still basically a coin toss.Balogun was initially going to have to sit out the match after getting a red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina last round, but the suspension has been… suspended. That means the U.S. will have the 25-year-old striker, who has scored three times in three games, for one of the biggest matches in the national team’s history.Even with Balogun eligible to play, the odds didn’t move much. FanDuel has barely budged from it being a true pick ’em. In fact, Belgium is a small favorite at -112 to advance with the U.S. at -108, even after the Balogun news. DraftKings started with matching odds as well, but had already shifted to the Americans being -120 to advance by Saturday. Soon after the Balogun news came out, the U.S. moved to -125 to advance while Belgium is even money on DraftKings. BetMGM has the U.S. as small favorites at -115 to advance with Belgium -110.The point is, this match was viewed as a coin flip in the odds as soon as the Americans beat Bosnia to advance, and it is still in that range now that Balogun can play. Before the tournament, this match likely would’ve had Belgium as the favorite, but things have changed in recent weeks.Here’s a look at the odds for this match, plus the updated futures odds for the Americans to make history with a deep run.The four steps Pochettino took to make the USMNT World Cup contendersChristopher HamillUnited States vs. Belgium
