Belgium Knocks US Out of World Cup After Balogun Controversy The 4 1 loss to Belgium in Seattle on Friday night was not just a defeat for the US team – it also highlighted FIFA's ongoing struggles with governance and transparency.
The controversy surrounding Folarin Balogun's red card, which could have seen him suspended from the match against Belgium, has raised questions about the role of politics in international football.
