USA Exit World Cup 2026 After 4-1 Loss to Belgium

The United States men's team bowed out of the 2026 World Cup with a 4‑1 defeat to Belgium at Dallas Stadium, repeating their 2014 exit at the same stage. Belgium limited the U.S. to seven shots, all inside the box, while the visitors recorded 15 attempts, including 10 in the U.S. penalty area.

Despite the loss, the squad set a record for most matches won in a single edition and striker Folarin Balogon emerged as a standout. Former player Alexi Lalas said the team brought people into the tentpole and should be proud, but lamented that the “moral victories” era is over and that the 4‑1 loss left something on the table. tbzikra.com
