Playing on home soil with an experienced group that looked relatively impressive in the tournament, the U.S. faced Belgium with a chance to advance to the quarterfinal round for the first time since 2002. And yet, much like the last time the U.S. played Belgium with a quarterfinal birth on the line (back in 2014), they lost.

The U.S. can take plaudits for making some history by winning their group for the first time, recording three victories in the tournament. On the flip side, however, the USA could not get past the Round of 16, being outplayed and embarrassed by Belgium in a 4-1 defeat at Lumen Field in Seattle. Before the World Cup kicked of

It was the first men’s World Cup on U.S. soil since 1994, the culmination of unprecedented investment in player development and the national team. Instead, it ended with a sobering reminder of how far the U.S. still has to go. Belgium’s emphatic 4-1 victory against the U.S. in Seattle on Monday was more than a round of 16 defeat.
