The U.S. Men’s National Team’s World Cup dreams ended in heartbreaking fashion as Belgium crushed them 4-1 in the round of sixteen, marking the second straight World Cup where Belgium eliminates the U.S. at this stage. Belgium struck early, but the Americans tied it before halftime on a deflected free kick. The second half belonged to Belgium, who surged ahead and held firm under pressure, even as star Christian Pulisic was forced off injured. A late stoppage-time goal sealed the win, ending the U.S.’s run and reminding fans they haven’t reached the quarterfinals since 2002. Belgium advances to face Spain.
