1 / 3

USMNT striker Folarin Balogun has publicly apologised after the 4-1 defeat to Belgium ended America’s run at the 2026 World Cup. The match came after a dramatic overturn of Balogun’s suspension. He was sent off against Bosnia and Herzegovina but was cleared by FIFA to start against Belgium, a decision that drew heavy criticism. Balogun wrote on social media: “It was not good enough when it mattered most and we let you down.” He also expressed hope, saying the passion and talent in US soccer will grow and drive better results in future tournaments.
