Thursday, July 2, 2026
Weston McKennie, a midfielder for the U.S. national soccer team, stated that the absence of an appeal process for red cards is "bogus" following Folarin Balogun's red card and resulting suspension before the Belgium match. Balogun received the red card during a previous match and was suspended for the upcoming fixture. McKennie did not specify which governing body he was addressing with his criticism. The U.S. team is scheduled to face Belgium in an upcoming World Cup qualifier or tournament match.
