Happy 4th of July to all those who celebrate American independence! Morning Kickaround uses its independence to get you into a thrilling weekend of World Cup action.
The United States won a knockout round game on Wednesday over Bosnia and Herzegovina, but it came at a cost. A fine performance was sort of marred by a Folarin Balogun red card in the middle of the second half. The Americans hung on to win the game after Malik Tillman banged home a free kick to set up a rematch of the 2014 round of 16 against Belgium. What will Maurico Pochettino do without his preferred striker?
Also, Fox reported record viewership for a soccer match in the United States in the game against Bosnia. Does this reflect a growing interest in soccer or just Americans’ love of a big time event and how has soccer broadcasting evolved since the USA made their return to the World Cup back in 1990?
