Balogun's Red Card Suspension Rocks World Cup Odds

The decision has made Balogun the co-favorite (+525) to score the first goal alongside Belgium's Romelu Lukaku, and co-favorite (+145) for an anytime goal. The American striker is also the favorite to be the first US goalscorer (+525) and for any US goal (+145). moryak.biz

Public betting heavily favors the USA, with the US now a slight favorite over Belgium in the three-way moneyline. Caesars Sports reports the US is taking 72% of tickets and 79% of money in this market, a significant shift from before Balogun's suspension was announced.
