The USA's World Cup is over after a 4-1 defeat to Belgium. Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith are joined by The Athletic's Adam Crafton from the stadium to react to the hosts' dramatic exit, the fallout from Folarin Balogun's controversial red-card suspension and the debate surrounding Donald Trump's call to FIFA over the decision. NBA player for the Cleveland Cavaliers and part owner of Leeds, Larry Nance Jr, reflects on what this World Cup has meant for football in the United States and whether the tournament has left a lasting legacy. Plus, Guillem Balague looks back on the end of Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup career after Portugal's exit, reflecting on his extraordinary legacy and where he ranks among football's all-time greats.
