USA crash out to Belgium in last-16 loss in Seattle

The USA team suffered a crushing 4-1 defeat to Belgium in the last-16 stage of the tournament in Seattle, ending their hopes of advancing further. The match was marred by controversy when Folarin Balogun was controversially spared a red card following a phone call from Donald Trump to FIFA president Gianni Infantino. This decision has sparked debate over the potential influence of high-profile individuals on sports officiating. The loss not only eliminates the USA from the competition but also raises questions about the integrity and impartiality of the sport's governing bodies.
