The United States are eliminated from the World Cup following a 4–1 defeat by Belgium. Multiple outlets report that the match ends the USA’s campaign and that Belgium’s win is decisive. Both sources describe the result as a dismissal of the U.S. team from the tournament after the loss, with Belgium scoring four times while the U.S. records one goal. The articles also mention reactions beyond the match, saying that other countries and audiences respond with mockery or celebratory coverage. One outlet additionally attributes part of the surrounding controversy to a change related to red-card rules associated with then-President Donald Trump, implying it overturned a prior ban connected to red cards. The sources do not provide further technical detail in the excerpts provided, but they consistently frame the elimination as driven by the outcome of the Belgium match and describe the broader public reaction to the defeat.
