The U.S. men’s national team looks to continue its World Cup run on Monday with the help of the 12th Man in Seattle.
That won’t be the only assistance that Mauricio Pochettino’s squad will be getting on Monday when they take the pitch at Lumen Field against Belgium.
The USMNT will have star forward Folarin Balogun back in the Starting XI after FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee decided on Sunday to reverse action on Balogun’s one-game red card suspension from the round of 32, a decision by FIFA that has received quite a loud mix of reactions from those within the soccer world, including one of displeasure and disagreement from Belgium.Balogun and the Americans went 2-0-1 in Group D play to win the group, with wins coming against Paraguay and Australia. The Americans then followed winning their group by picking up a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, a game in which they played a man down for roughly 40 minutes after Balogun was called for a red card.
Here’s what to know about the location of the match and how to watch it unfold:
