Belgium ends the USA's World Cup dream with a dominant 4-1 win in the Round of 16

Source: CNN

• Belgium ends the USA’s dream: The summer of soccer love is over for the USA’s World Cup squad after losing 4-1 to Belgium. Two early goals from Charles De Ketelaere and some awful US defending allowing a third from Hans Vanaken. Romelu Lukaku added the final goal in the last seconds. Malik Tillman scored for the USA in the first half.

Belgium - 4
Trump -1

Thank you, Donald Trump. You gave the Belgiques all the inspiration they needed to kick your lard ass.

Shithole put a burden on them they couldn’t carry. Their heads were completely out of the game. They played with fear tonight, knowing that the entire fucking world was rooting against them.

Congratulations to Belgium.

To make matters worse, they are paid more than the US women, who regularly play in and win championships.

It was amusing to hear the Fox broadcasters basically begging the viewing audience to keep tuning in to watch the sem-finals.

Let me add, in soccer, 4-1 is a blowout.

This feels like a good time to note that, indeed, USWNT is the winningest team in international sports history (win percentage: 84)

Trump will call FIFA and they will overturn this loss so the US will move on to the next round.

Belgium deserved to win, they played an awesome match.

After this I think most Americans are going to tune out of the World Cup games.

I love soccer. The beauty of the game is it's complex simplicity if that makes sense. I hate FIFA and wish the entire organization would be broken up and restructured, because the world so desperately needs the World Cup as much as it needs Democracy, WITH NO CORRUPTION! I wasn't going to let FatAss or the "Martian Leader" ruin the game or for me rooting for my home country because that's what you do. The US had some luck to get where they were but they are still a good team. Keep it up, we can get there. Its what its about

On a side note, that England Mexico game was phreakin' nuts lol.
