Episode Description from the Publisher

The USMNT’s World Cup run is officially over after a brutal loss to Belgium, and the squad is trying to figure out where everything went wrong 😭🇺🇸 After one of the best group-stage performances in USMNT history and a convincing first knockout-round win, the team had a chance to prove it could compete with one of the world’s best. Instead, they came out flat, failed to respond under pressure, and watched all of the momentum surrounding this team disappear in 90 minutes. Was the tournament still a success despite the ending? Did the USMNT simply lose to a more talented team, or did they waste their biggest opportunity to earn the world’s respect? We break down the Belgium loss, grade the overall World Cup run, and discuss what needs to change before 2030 👀 Let us know in the comments, how would you grade the USMNT’s World Cup performance?
