USA national team forward Folarin Balogun commented on his team’s victory in the 2026 emergency match against Australia (0:2), which is the only time the Americans made it to the playoffs.

“We wanted to see a quick start, like in the match against Paraguay, and this significantly eased our load.

I am extremely happy for Alex Freeman - he is a very modest and down-to-earth guy - who scored his first goal in the World Cup.

The ability to see patients on such a great stage is extremely important to me. Now we are going to choose and renew ourselves. Mi all one pragnemo win the offensive match against Tureccini.

The most important thing is to stand on your feet, to become humble, and to sing that we can achieve good results,” the FIFA press service quotes Balogun as saying..
