@BosniaNTBall The red card was debatable. Slow motion makes everything look worse. My issue is with no yellows being given to Bosnia for consistent fouling in the game. The obvious shirt pulling to stop attacks was allowed numerous times and not dealt with properly by the official.
@usmntonly@Bcarp3 Referees should not impact the game or tournament like this! Intent matters, and in this case there was no intent to injure. It was an unfortunate accident! Does anyone have any common sense anymore? USA can still beat Belgium, but it will be much tougher without Balogun.

"High school sports are fun.
Kids should play for that reason alone.
The problem is lots of club coaches tell kids not to compete for their high school so there’s more time to showcase & “get seen”.
And kids end up being the ones missing out on the experience."

The Reds are so frustrating! Every time you think they might be ready to make a move, they play like little leaguers! Can’t lose to teams like the Braves at home and expect to make the playoffs! Piss poor defense tonight!
Congrats to Mexico, but this is a very weak US team. Richards and Adams are the only guys who will definitely be on the World Cup team. Tillman and Ream are possibilities. Average Mexican team as well to be honest!
After you make a mistake in a game, remember that there's nothing you can do to undo it, so you might as well forget about it, stay positive, and focus on the next play!
@BuckeyeScoop I don’t get why recruits love USC. I know they pay them tons of money, but the campus sucks, the stadium and home environment sucks, and who wants to live in California!
