I&#8217;ve felt I&#8217;ve always had resilience and that&#8217;s what&#8217;s brought me here, but, for sure, being in Monaco, especially playing in the league before then going into Monaco with expectations, it has taught me resilience. It&#8217;s taught me that things take time and I have to believe in myself,&#8221; he reflected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think these are lessons that will help me coming into this tournament and, for sure, as a team, we&#8217;re going to need to be resilient if we want to achieve things.

Bagging a crucial goal just prior to half-time, the way he shrewdly timed his run before applying a sublimely placed finish, which was his first USMNT goal since October, underlined just what an asset he is.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2-nice-run-in-behind-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-239498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2-nice-run-in-behind-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2-nice-run-in-behind-533x300.png 533w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-2-nice-run-in-behind.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nicely timed run in behind before his goal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-3-masterful-finish-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-239502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-3-masterful-finish-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-3-masterful-finish-533x300.png 533w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-3-masterful-finish.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Masterful finish<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it was at a good moment.

I won\u2019t shy away &#8211; as a striker, when you\u2019re in a tournament of this magnitude you just want to get that goal and build confidence. I feel I was able to do that today. It puts me in a good position mentally going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Posing a huge threat with his pace and movement, plus offering a handy reference point for teammates and physical presence, his body of work certainly served as a massive confidence booster for him and highlighted why a player with his incredible skill set can be so valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"471\" height=\"316\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-4-baloguns-heat-map-vs.-bolivia.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-239506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-4-baloguns-heat-map-vs.-bolivia.png 471w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-4-baloguns-heat-map-vs.-bolivia-447x300.png 447w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Balogun&#8217;s heat map vs. Bolivia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-usas-pass-connections-map.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-239510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-usas-pass-connections-map.png 690w, https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-usas-pass-connections-map-448x300.png 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">USA&#8217;s pass connections map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Seeing as there&#8217;s plentiful talk surrounding if he should be starting or not, Balogun vindicated his coach&#8217;s decision to give him the nod, as he came up clutch in a key moment to stamp his mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Gregg (Berhalter) has always given me that confidence to just do what I naturally do,&#8221; Balogun explained. &#8220;He&#8217;s telling the boys to find me..
