The US men’s national soccer team will face Belgium without starting striker Folarin Balogun, who received a red card in the previous match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Red Card Appeal
According to FIFA’s regulations, a player sent off with a direct or indirect red card is automatically suspended from the next match. Balogun’s red card was given for a serious foul play challenge, and the US team cannot appeal the decision.
Balogun will not be able to participate in the match against Belgium but can be present in the stands at Seattle Stadium. The US team will have to find an alternative to replace him in the starting lineup.
