The Americans didn't look mentally right to me from the start, so well done Turmp for that. :/ Balogun even had an apologetic chat with the Belgian staff!

In between tournaments, most of his time is devoted to his indie-synth-rock band Enter Shaqiri, who had a hit with 'Sorry You're Not A Winner' (Switzerland) in the hit parade back in the early 2000s...
