US Men's National Team Striker Folarin Balogun Faces Crucial Absence in World Cup Showdown. Folarin Balogun's World Cup hopes have taken a devastating blow after he was handed a suspension for a red card in the US men's national team's match against the Netherlands. The young striker will now miss the team's highly anticipated Round of 16 match against Belgium, a game the US team is heavily favored to win. Balogun's absence will be a significant loss for the team, as he has been a key player in the US attack, and his absence could impact the team's chances of advancing to the quarterfinals.
Folarin Balogun has no option to appeal the red card that left him suspended for the U.S. men’s national team’s Round of 16 match against Belgium.
