USA's Balogun sent off for tackle similar to Messi's, sparking debate
A heated debate broke out following the red card issued to USA player Folarin Balogun during the World Cup Round of 32 game against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The dismissal came after a challenge that appeared identical to one involving Argentina's Lionel Messi earlier in the competition, for which Messi received no penalty. Supporters are now questioning the fairness of officiating after video clips of both plays gained traction online. Balogun was forced to leave the pitch in the 64th minute.
