USA fans should chill. Balugon was given a Red card after VAR check . End of story.

Can’t believe that call on Balogun. He’s not even looking at the player and just bringing his foot down at full speed. Clearly an accident. Beyond horrible

They have VAR bro - slowed down it looked horrible. They won and showed they could even control the game with 10 - solid performance

Yellow, not a red. Watch at full speed, it’s clearly unintentional. A team shouldn’t be punished going to 10 and losing that player for another game for incidental contact.

Otherwise, very good performance from the US. Dug deep when they went down a man.

Match officials make the final call. Not you. Accept it.

Still, a man down and a goal added. Bosnia was done after that.

That looked pretty bad in slow motion.

US can appeal for the next match ban I think.

Edit - no appeal possible.

Balogun was sent off in the USMNT's round-of-32 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday.

Yeah, and it’s the wrong call. No red for Messi in a similar situation

The referees aren't perfect. Be thankful it wasn't Tori Penso on the field. Or pitch. Or whatever the heck it's called.

Messi’s is worse because he’s making a play on the ball and rakes the guy. Baloguns was a freak play. It looks bad slowed down, but at full speed, it’s just unlucky. Now Balogun has to sit out Belgium.
