During the 2026 FIFA World Cup match against Belgium, the USMNT is currently down 3-1. The team's early momentum has faltered, contributing to a backlash from some fans who are now supporting Belgium. This shift in allegiance has drawn criticism from former NFL player Robert Griffin III, who labeled dissenting supporters as ‘traitors’ in a social media post. The controversy escalated following FIFA's decision to overturn Folarin Balogun's suspension, a move Griffin argues has harmed team support. The match remains in progress as the US seeks a comeback.
