The USMNT's World Cup exit to Belgium was overshadowed by the ongoing Balogun red card saga, with UEFA and Belgium both taking shots at FIFA's decision to suspend his ban. Meanwhile, England's win over Mexico set a historic viewership record, and the NBA offseason continued to simmer with trade analysis and contract drama.
The Balogun red card mess kept generating reactions even after the USMNT's elimination, while England's win over Mexico quietly made history.
UEFA publicly condemned FIFA's decision to suspend Balogun's automatic one-match ban, calling it 'incomprehensible' and arguing FIFA 'crossed a red line' by intervening before the USA-Belgium match.
FIFA issued a formal statement defending referee Raphael Claus after Donald Trump called him 'suspect' over the Balogun red card, adding a political dimension to the officiating controversy.
Belgium's national team posted a pointed social media message after their 4-1 win, breaking their usual stoic demeanor to weigh in on the Balogun red card suspension controversy.
England's 3-2 win over Mexico drew 23.1 million viewers on Telemundo, on track to become the most-watched Spanish-language linear telecast in U.S. history.
Two stories from the NBA offseason highlight the delicate balance teams face between bold moves and long-term planning.
SI's Chris Mannix breaks down the Celtics' Jaylen Brown-for-Paul George trade, questioning whether the deal makes sense given George's decline and the narrow path to success.
Nikola Jokic again declined a supermax extension with the Nuggets, opting to delay negotiations, which means he'll enter the last guaranteed year of his contract without a long-term deal beyond 2027.
