“Folarin Balogun Chooses to Play for the United States over England and Nigeria”

Snubbed by Gareth Southgate for the international matches in March, Folarin Balogun (21), England international U23, will no longer wear the British colors. Indeed, the Reims striker on loan from Arsenal, also eligible with Nigeria, has finally chosen to play for the United States, journalist Fabrizio Romano announced on Tuesday.

This is obviously a very nice shot in perspective. Attractive in Qatar, the American nation had shown great things until its elimination against the Netherlands (1-3), in the round of 16, but had lacked efficiency in the last gesture. With the 5th top scorer in Ligue 1 tied with Lois Openda (19 goals), the USA will be able to calmly prepare for their next matches. With of course the 2026 World Cup, partly organized at home, in the line of sight.
