## Resource

The USMNT’s World Cup run is over, and it ended in brutal fashion.Matt and Gabe break down the United States’ 4-1 loss to Belgium in the Round of 16, one of the most embarrassing knockout performances for the USMNT ever. We talk through what went wrong, why the game got away from the U.S., and what this result says about the team’s ceiling on the biggest stage.We also dive into the controversial reversal of Flo Balogun’s red card, how that decision affected the team, and whether the fallout from the Bosnia match carried into this Belgium disaster.From there, we look ahead to the World Cup quarterfinal matchups and discuss who has the best chance to keep moving toward the final. We also hit on the latest Columbus Crew transfer news before ending with a big announcement: we are launching a full Columbus Crew player profile series across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, covering every single first-team player before the Crew return.
