Konnerud Overview

Mauricio Pochettino has revealed he will speak to Folarin Balogun in the coming days after the striker's deadline-day transfer to Everton collapsed. The United States men's national team boss wants to offer his support following a turbulent window for the 25-year-old.

The talent is there. But as teenagers push for USMNT call-ups, Mauricio Pochettino is watching more than what they do with the ball.

U.S. Men's National Team Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino says that Noahkai Banks will not be considered for a call-up for the team's upcoming camp, as the Augsburg defender remains undecided about his international future. Banks removed himself from consideration for a USMNT call-up in March and, ultimately, for the World Cup as he mulled over his future with both the U.S. and Germany.

The Belgian Football Association has demanded answers from FIFA regarding the controversial decision to lift Folarin Balogun’s World Cup suspension. In response to the highly unorthodox ruling, Belgium have also confirmed they will not support Gianni Infantino’s re-election bid for the FIFA presidency.
