While the Belgian players were happy to mock the political side of the saga, head coach Rudi Garcia took a more diplomatic approach with the player at the centre of the storm. Garcia revealed that Balogun came to talk with him after the final whistle to discuss the controversy. "I really liked that," Garcia said when asked about the post-match conversation. "It’s not his fault, he’s not the one to blame and that’s what I told him." The manager insisted the pre-match drama didn't distract his squad, adding: "Regardless of the US starting line-up, what really mattered to us is our game plan. The group is very mature. I told them what matters the most is us." That singular focus ultimately saw them dismantle the American defence and book a date with Spain in the next round.
