Alexi Lalas claims Balogun's red card wouldn't have happened if he were Messi
Former USA player Alexi Lalas slammed the decision to show Folarin Balogun a red card during the team's World Cup Round of 32 clash against Bosnia and Herzegovina, labeling it a "crap call." Lalas remarked that if the player had been Lionel Messi, he would have remained in the game. Balogun was dismissed for a tackle that appeared comparable to one for which Messi avoided any penalty earlier in the competition.
