#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.”
FIFA sources confirm there is no mechanism to appeal a World Cup red card in their Disciplinary Code. Which seems quite surreal. But it means Balogun will not be able to play Belgium.

'Beat The Fucking Hawks' - New Iowa State Football Head Coach Took The Mic At Halftime And Immediately Won Over The Fans, Claims He 'Blacked Out' https://t.co/IAMqFLERvE
Iowa State just pulled off one of the most impressive wins we’ll see all season. The Cyclones just destroyed Purdue — at Mackey — leading by 20+ for most of the second half.
Tamin Lipsey outplayed Braden Smith. He’s so damn steady. And Milan Momcilovic is breaking out.
You won’t find five better teams in the sport than Iowa State right now.
Listen,
Losing Campbell sucks. It fucking sucks. We can’t lose his momentum though. We all know what things were like before. We have to rally behind Rogers with everything we’ve got. We all know how hard this job is. Wallowing in pitty only makes it harder. Support our guy.
