U.S. World Cup Star Admits Trump's Meddling Made Things 'Difficult' [View all]

U.S. World Cup striker Folarin Balogun said he was happy to have the chance to play against Belgium after being given a red card during the 2-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina.

During the game, Balogun was issued the card after stepping on Tarik Muharemović’s right angle, and that typically means a one-game suspension.

Balogun told “CBS Mornings” on Tuesday he “was in shock” over the red card and didn’t agree with the call, saying “when something’s not intentional, it should never be a red card.”

He added that the skirmish was “just an unfortunate situation, and I think, you know, it put a lot more pressure on us than we needed.”
