White House dismisses birthright citizenship irony in Balogun case
I mentioned that. Couldn't have played for US unless was. Mom was too sick, too far along in pregnancy to fly back home before he was born.

According to the striker's ESPN profile from 2023, Balogun was born in New York City because his mother, who was born in Nigeria but living in London at the time, could not board a flight back home due to how far along she was in her pregnancy.
Balogun and his mother returned to the United Kingdom shortly after his birth, with the striker, a U.S. citizen by birth, eventually deciding to play for the United States men's national team.
Trump probably wants to revoke his citizenship now.
