Folarin Balogun chose to play for the U.S. and made a splashy World Cup debut
Folarin Balogun could have played for any one of three countries. With retired England captain David Beckham looking on, Balogun became the first U.S. player to score multiple goals in a World Cup game since 1930. Back then, Bert Patenaude scored all three goals in a 3-0 U.S. win over Paraguay, the first hat trick in World Cup history.
