00:00Valaren Balagan's one game ban has been suspended as I just mentioned he's now available for this
00:06round of 16 match so after days of this game being framed around his absence and that's initially what
00:10I thought we were going to talk about how much does this change the emotional feel of the matchup
00:16between USA and Belgium this changes everything honestly because when you think about when the red
00:21card was issued very controversial in its nature there were questions not only about the U.S. being
00:26able to close out and protect their lead to advance but to know after watching Belgium's
00:31incredible comeback for Senegal I know we'll get into it that they had a really talented Belgium
00:36team waiting on the next round the question was can they win without him your leading scorer in the
00:42World Cup the emotions behind it the controversy behind it and also just psychologically so it's
00:47a massive boost for the U.S. to be able to get this this news they heard it on the
00:51team bus it actually
00:52broke on social media reports indicated before they officially heard it as a team and so they were
00:57just as excited as we were and we're just saying it's so well deserved you know now they can shift
01:02their focus instead of now focusing on how to play without him to now be at full strength going into
01:07this matchup
