Balogun did not deserve a red card: USA coach questions referee's decision

The United States national team coach has questioned the referee's decision to send off defender Balogun during a recent match. The coach stated that Balogun did not deserve a red card for the incident.

The red card was issued after a challenge that the referee deemed worthy of a sending-off. However, the USA coach argued that the contact was not malicious and did not warrant such a severe punishment.

The coach expressed frustration with the decision, suggesting that it had a significant impact on the team's performance and the outcome of the game. He emphasized that Balogun is a disciplined player and that the call was harsh.

The incident has sparked debate among fans and analysts about the consistency of officiating in international matches. The USA team is now preparing for their next fixture without Balogun, who will serve a suspension following the red card.
