Balogun's accidental US eligibility leads to World Cup hero
Folarin Balogun, who scored twice in the USA's opening World Cup match against Paraguay, became eligible to play for the US men's national team due to his mother's stay in the United States when he was born.

His eligibility was a result of his birth in New York when his mother was unable to return to London before giving birth.
