This Tuesday, local time, Balogun participated in CBS Sports' morning news interview, discussing his thoughts after his suspension was lifted during the FIFA World Cup.

Balogun was sent off with a red card for a foul in the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, which meant he would be suspended for at least one match. However, news then emerged that Trump had urged Infantino to review the red card. Subsequently, just 24 hours before the match, Balogun's suspension was lifted, leading to widespread criticism. Ultimately, the US team lost 1-4 to Belgium and failed to advance.

He said, "My initial reaction was great to be back with the team, but on reflection, I knew it would cause a lot of controversy, and I could almost feel my teammates' nervousness because the situation was so unique. As the game got closer, the harder I tried to concentrate, but it was difficult—there was a lot of noise off the field, and it was hard to ignore."
