Giannis: “[leaving Milwaukee] it’s a risk”
Paschke: “You could always come home”
Giannis: “That would be awesome… if I can go and play, and maybe come back”
U.S. got screwed with the red card in the game. Said f it. We ball. Outscored Bosnia despite being a man down. Balogun shook hands with the official anyway. Handled it like a total pro. Was told there were no appeals. Said f it. We ball. Bring on Belgium anyway. We’ll still win.
We’re told today he can play. We say cool. Everyone else shows 0 class whatsoever. F it. We ball. See you tomorrow.
Belgians: We deserve an advantage in the round of 16 because our opponent was affected in the previous round by a ruling that was questionable at best and completely unrelated to our last match.
BREAKING: FIFA has cleared the way for U.S. star Folarin Balogun to play in the USA's round of 16 match vs Belgium on Monday, confirmed by FOX Sports' @ByDougMcIntyre and @MelissaMOrtiz

The USA has the highest combined attendance of any FIFA World Cup host nation in history 🇺🇸🙌
On the Fourth of July, we celebrate the country's immense love of football! ⚽️
#USMNT striker Folarin Balogun on his immediate reaction to red card:
“I think it was just important to stay calm. I never want to react out of anger and out of emotion. There’s still lots of people we’re inspiring, little kids, boys and girls who are watching, and we have to show them the correct way to handle things, even when you think it's unjust.”
On shaking ref’s hand postgame:
“As said, you can feel like something, injustice can happen to you. It’s not an excuse to be disrespectful… I'm aware that the World Cup might be the first time a lot of American viewers are tuning in. So it's important just to show people, whether things happen to you, good or bad, just to continue to be yourself.”
