The USMNT earned a major boost against Belgium ahead of the Round of 16 and now their World Cup odds are shifting after Folarin Balogun's red card was overturned.
Mauricio Pochettino and the USMNT were faced with a huge decision for their July 6 game against Belgium after Balogun's red card. However, FIFA went back on their original choice and now the American star striker is eligible to compete.
The Balogun news is a massive lift for America after the team originally expected to be without its top goalscorer. Balogun leads the U.S. with three goals during the 2026 World Cup.
