The USMNT's World Cup Run Ends With A Thud

Send us Fan MailThe United States Men's National Team's run in the 2026 World Cup ended Monday night with a 4-1 knockout loss to Belgium.Despite FIFA (thanks perhaps in response to a phone call from President Trump) allowing the USA's top scorer Folarin Balogun to play after a red-card suspension during the team's match with Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Americans looked flat almost from the start.For his part, Balogun was a non-factor in the game with just one shot on goal.  And Balogun wasn't alone in struggling.  Christian Pulisic was another in a line of American players who underperformed.When it comes to underperforming, you need look no further than the New York Yankees offense.After getting swept in a 4-game series by the Red Sox (which Jim Monaghan said last week would be nothing more than a blip on the screen), the Yankees were swept by the Minnesota Twins, and dropped a series against the Minnesota Twins.While Anthony Volpe may be the target of fan ire, he also has a lot of struggling teammates including Austin Wells, Ben Rice, and more.Follow us on Social Media for more content.YouTube FacebookTwitter (you want to call it X, go ahead)
