The USMNT’s World Cup run comes to an end after a disappointing 4-1 loss to Belgium in the Round of 16.

On this postgame reaction show, we break down what went wrong, why Belgium was too much, the key moments that changed the match, and whether this tournament should still be considered a success overall for the United States.

We’ll discuss the performance, the tactics, the players who stepped up, the players who struggled, and what comes next for the USMNT after a strong run that ends in painful fashion.
