El Paso USA fans anticipate Balogun’s return set for Round of 16 match against Belgium

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- For nearly a month, the FIFA World Cup brought fans across the Borderland together as the U.S. Men's National Team continues to surprise in it's now lengthy run in the tournament.

Monday, Team USA returns to the pitch to take on Belgium in the Round of 16 in Seattle, and fans repping their red, white and blue seem to be as enthusiastic and hopeful as ever.

This comes in light after a stunning decision by FIFA Sunday morning -- suspending a red card penalty on USA forward Folarin Balogun and allowing him to play in Monday's match.

Balogun, who scored three goals in USA's first four World Cup matches, brings a much-needed boost to the the team while sparking much discussion and controversy on the timing of FIFA's decision.
