WILD.

There was reportedly significant frustration in the USMNT camp among both players and staff after the Balogun controversy overshadowed the World Cup Round of 16 game against Belgium.

Per talkSPORT: "Multiple USMNT players,
preferring to remain anonymous to protect relationships, have told talkSPORT that Trump publicly confirming he had spoken to Infantino on July 6 caused more damage in their view than news of the original call itself. This came just a day before the game and was seen as unhelpful because it essentially aided Belgium's team talk."

A cathartic first goal for Son Heung Min 🇰🇷 this @MLS season.

The cheapest ticket for the World Cup Final between Argentina and Spain is currently $7,500.

That is the most expensive get-in price ever recorded for a U.S. sporting event on @TickPick.

Insanity 🤯

@SebiSalazarFUT nails the major issue in the US youth soccer scene… prioritizing wealthy parents' profits over actual player growth.

Landon Donovan says America is missing soccer talent because kids can’t afford to play.

“Only 2% of kids playing organized soccer in America came from households that made less than $50,000.”

“If you don’t make $50,000, your kid cannot play organized soccer.”

“Think about how many kids you’re missing out on in this country because they can’t afford to play the game.”

“There is zero chance I could have played club soccer.”

“My mom made $34,000 a year, single mom raising three kids.”

“She couldn’t pay $4,000 for me to play club. Are you kidding? She couldn’t pay $400.”

“That’s not a good system to create good players.”

These dudes playing soccer since 5 years old would dogwalk the rest of the world...who did I miss?

Myles Garrett - the enforcer
Pete Crowe Armstrong
Bobby Witt, Jr
Lebron James - prob in goal
Jahmyr Gibbs
Christian McCaffrey
Saquon Barkley

I wrote about Balo. The grace. The positivity. The bigger picture.

He could’ve raged, like countless people do at injustice.

Instead, he set an example for the world.

#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.”

[Stu Holden @stuholden]

Not enough said for the class and respect Balogun displayed in such a tough moment. Well done

[Men in Blazers @MenInBlazers]

The goals and sending-off won over countless American fans, but Flo Balogun's comments today should win over even more ❤️🤍💙

KIT UPDATE: The #USMNT will wear all BLUE in the match against Belgium on Monday. They were 0-1 in blue in the group stage.

As some may remember, the striped uniforms didn't work v. BEL turquoise kit the last times these teams met. No surprise FIFA didn't repeat the mistake.

[Maximiliano Bretos @MaxBretosSports]

Has gone from World Cup where they are letting players play to everything determined by the refs and technology.
