The U.S. men’s soccer team is out of the World Cup after a crushing 4-1 loss to Belgium, marking their first defeat at Lumen Field and ending their tournament hopes in the Round of 16. A shaky defense, unforced errors, and a late Romelu Lukaku goal sealed the fate of a team that showed flashes of promise but couldn’t hold their own against top-tier competition. The emotional aftermath saw players in tears — a stark contrast to earlier celebrations — while Belgium’s coach Rudi Garcia turned controversy into fuel, benching key players and using social media to post “Overturn this,” seemingly referencing reports that President Trump tried to influence a red card earlier in the tournament. With the U.S. eliminated, the world’s soccer stage moves on — and for FIFA, it’s a relief to avoid potential political fallout from a deeper run by the Americans.
