Chabab Janoub Boujdour Overview

The narrative is centered around one particular player, but Monday's Round of 16 game will need to be a team effort from the USMNT

Belgium manager Rudi Garcia said he was stunned to learn that United States men's national team striker Folarin Balogun will be available for Monday's World Cup clash. The Belgian federation has since said it will explore every possible avenue to challenge FIFA's decision, with both Garcia and the FA framing their opposition as a defense of football.

The U.S. have their star striker back, and head into a fixture against top European opposition in a far better place than many might have imagined.

American soccer's top stars found out about Sunday's news the same way everyone else did, and now they're looking forward to benefitting from it in their Round of 16 match.
