What happened: Folarin Balogun is available for the USMNT’s World Cup round-of-16 match against Belgium after his one-game red-card ban was suspended. The decision reverses his expected absence from Monday’s knockout match.

Why it matters: The change restores a starting forward for a match that will determine a quarterfinal place. It also forces both teams to adjust their preparations shortly before kickoff.

What to watch: Watch whether Balogun returns directly to the starting lineup against Belgium and whether the disciplinary decision carries further conditions.
