USMNT exits World Cup after 4-1 loss to Belgium in round of 16

The USMNT was eliminated from the World Cup, suffering a 4-1 defeat to Belgium in the round of 16. This marks the fourth consecutive time the team has exited at this stage of the tournament. Analyst John Sears noted that while the loss is disappointing, it should not be surprising given the team's slow progress and lack of experience in high-stakes matches. He highlighted concerns over the players' perceived lack of effort during the game. The team's performance has prompted discussions about expectations for U.S. soccer on the global stage.
