Balogun Red Card Suspension Upsets World Cup Odds

Published July 5, 2026 · Updated July 5, 2026 · Fox Sports

FIFA's suspension of Folarin Balogun's red card has made him eligible to play in Monday's USA vs Belgium match, forcing bookmakers to adjust odds as the US forward becomes a co-favorite for top scoring markets.

The decision to overturn Balogun's red card has sent shockwaves through betting markets. The US striker is now co-favorite (+525) alongside Belgium's Romelu Lukaku to score first, and sits at +145 for anytime goals, just behind Lukaku's +144. Public betting heavily favors the US team, with 72% of tickets and 79% of money backing the Americans in the three-way market, making them slight favorites over Belgium. sport-tr.bet
