US Exit at 2026 World Cup Round of 16: 4-1 Loss to Belgium

US Exit at 2026 World Cup Round of 16: 4-1 Loss to Belgium

In Dallas, the United States suffered a 4‑1 defeat to Belgium at the 2026 World Cup, ending their campaign at the round‑of‑16 stage for the second time. Belgium restricted the U.S. to just seven shots, all of which were on target, while delivering 15 total shots, ten inside the American box. The loss was a stark contrast to the United States’ record for most matches won in a single World Cup edition, and the emergence of striker Folarin Balogun as a standout performer.

Former U.S. star and analyst Alexi Lalas said the side should be proud of drawing fans into the stadium, but also expressed disappointment, noting that “the time for moral victories is over.” He praised Belgium for taking the field at the worst possible moment for the U.S., and warned that the team must move beyond symbolic successes if it hopes to advance further in future tournaments.

Colocas a un tipo con unas características biográficas muy marcadas en un lugar al que no pertenece y dejas que pase el tiempo, que él mismo se enrede en ese ecosistema ajeno. A medida que avanzan las secuencias, sus rutinas, nada particularmente extraño, se vuelven hilarantes. Un Marciano en Roma de Ennio Flaiano, el alienígena que aterriza en al capital de Italia y despierta una ola de fascinación al salir de su nave en plena Villa Borghese. Luego, poco a poco, sufre la indiferencia romana, un pueblo que ha visto demasiado en 2.779 años para cederle el turno en la cafetería a un extraterrestre.
