Balogun Red Card Controversy Ends US World Cup

Folarin Balogun became the US's breakout star with three goals in the tournament, but his World Cup ended controversy after receiving a red card against Bosnia that was later overturned by FIFA. The suspension overturn made him the first player since 1962 not to miss a match after a World Cup red card.

The US co-hosts were eliminated with a 4-1 defeat to Belgium, rendering the red card debate moot as Belgium advances to face Spain in the semifinals. Balogun accepted both the initial red card and later the decision to overturn it. newsindata.com
