The U.S. striker was dismissed for a foul that was eerily similar to one by Lionel Messi earlier this tournament.

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.
