Folarin Balogun’s red card was the only damper on the United States’ 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday night to reach the World Cup last 16. The decision by referee Raphael Claus to give the US forward a straight red in the 64th minute after a VAR check on a tackle to the ankle of Tarik Muharemović means that Balogun will not be able to play against Belgium on Monday. Is there any chance the red card could be struck off, making the US’s leading scorer at this World Cup eligible for their biggest game in modern memory?
