Belgium Feels 'Justice' After US Win

Belgium celebrated a commanding 4-1 victory over the United States in the round of 16, with players seeing the win as 'justice' after FIFA allowed suspended US forward Folarin Balogun to play.

Belgium extended their unbeaten streak to 18 games with a resounding 4-1 win over the United States, knocking the Americans out of the tournament in the round of 16 for the second time in 12 years. Romelu Lukaku capped the victory with a goal and celebrated by putting his hand to his ear, egging on the crowd of 66,925 at Seattle Stadium.

Belgian players expressed satisfaction that the result served as 'justice' after FIFA controversially lifted a one-game suspension for US forward Folarin Balogun. 'There's always a justice somewhere in life,' said midfielder Nicolas Raskin. Charles De Ketelaere scored a brace for Belgium, while Hans Vanaken also found the net in a clinical performance that saw the US concede their most goals in a World Cup game since 1990. amunra.help
