USA coach Mauricio Pochettino said on July 1 striker Folarin Balogun should “never” have received a red card after he was sent off against Bosnia following a VAR review, meaning he will miss his side’s last 16 World Cup showdown with Belgium next week.

The U.S. Men's National Team cannot appeal Folarin Balogun's red card or subsequent suspension from the Round of 16 game against Belgium at the World Cup.

The U.S. was leading 1-0 when Balogun was sent off, with the striker having scored his team's goal.
