00:00What should have been a huge World Cup win for Team USA has turned into a major controversy,
00:06and now one of their biggest stars will miss the next match.
00:10After helping the U.S. defeat Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0, striker Falarin Baligan was shown a straight
00:17red card following a VAR review. Many fans, players, and even head coach Mauricio Pochettino
00:24believed the challenge didn't deserve a red card. But under FIFA rules, the automatic
00:30one-match suspension for a straight red cannot be appealed. That means Baligan will miss the
00:36Americans' massive round of 16 showdown against Belgium, a huge blow for a team that's been
00:41building momentum. FIFA can review whether to extend the suspension, but it can't remove the
00:48mandatory first-game ban. Now, Team USA must prepare for one of its biggest World Cup matches
00:54without one of its top attacking threats. With emotions running high and fans still debating
01:00the decision, all eyes will be on whether the U.S. can overcome the setback and keep its World Cup
01:06dream alive.
