Folarin Balogun said he “was happy to be back in the team” but “knew it was gonna cause a lot of controversy.”

U.S. soccer star Folarin Balogun told "CBS Mornings" he "was in shock" when he received a red card in a World Cup match and discussed FIFA's decision to lift the one-game ban.

“It wasn’t even a tackle,” Balogun said of the incident which sparked one of the 2026 World Cup's biggest controversies.
