2026 World Cup: LeBron James, iShowSpeed react to Folarin Balogun's goal, Silencer celly vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina

The United States is playing Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Round of 32 on Wednesday night. It looked like Folarin Balogun scored the first goal of the game early in the first half, and he celebrated by hitting LeBron James’ “Silencer” celebration. The goal was overturned and ruled offside instead.

After netting the 45th-minute goal to put the U.S. up 1-0 early, the striker hit the “Silencer” celly for the second time, though this time after an official goal.
