Live updates: U.S. trails Belgium 2-1 at World Cup round of 16
The U.S. and Belgium have traded goals early in Seattle, but the U.S. trails, 2-1, at halftime of what is perhaps the most anticipated match in the history of American men’s soccer.
The Americans’ magical ride through the group stage and round of 32 has been marred by controversy, after a disputed red card against Folarin Balogun appeared to trigger an automatic one-game suspension.
FIFA’s decision to suspend the red card, allowing Balogun to play, came after President Donald Trump’s call to the governing body’s president, Gianni Infantino, throwing the tournament into chaos.
