Congratulations to Belgium. Deserved winners. Played the USMNT off the park in every aspect of the game. US played their worst game of the WC, Belgium played their best game of the WC and that’s the ass kicking you get when that happens. Unfortunate end to a fun couple weeks 🇺🇸

[Sameer Assanie @assanie8]

Belgium brought their best performance today, and sadly, the US played our worst.

Belgium deservedly winners today. Disappointing that this match ended up being a let down.

[Sameer Assanie @assanie8]

Unfortunately, looks like the moment was too big for the players.

30 minutes left, but mistakes have been so costly.

[Sameer Assanie @assanie8]

Whiplash…

Only thought after Malik’s free kick went in was don’t let the momentum fade and switch off. Exactly what happened.

[Sameer Assanie @assanie8]

Idk if it’s the expanded format or because so many big teams have gone home early, but even these early round knockout games feel like colossal ties. You can really feel the magnitude of the games. Refreshing for me as a viewer.

A THRILLER goes England’s way and they are in the final 8. 🔥

[Sameer Assanie @assanie8]

What a penalty! Make or miss, Kane is who I want to take a high stakes penalty.

This is an absolute classic! Not over yet either.

[Sameer Assanie @assanie8]

Wow! This is an absolutely brilliant tie so far.

Has all the makings of a World Cup classic!

MEXICO ANSWERS BACK 🇲🇽

Another goal in the 2026 FIFA World Cup for Julián Quiñones! Mexico City Stadium has life!

LIGHTENING STRIKES TWICE!

This is the England we’ve been waiting for! It’s always Bellingham and Kane.

Wow! Can’t say anyone saw this coming!

Neymar said he is retiring from playing for Brazil after his team's World Cup exit at the hands of Norway in the round of 16 on Sunday.

One thing is clear in this World Cup, the big nations are all on notice. Underdogs have come to play. Every single “favorite” has been challenged so far, and I don’t see that changing.

Certainly a World Cup not lacking in drama.

[Sameer Assanie @assanie8]

Wow, Haaland is just incredible.

Brazil had their chances, just couldn’t take them. That’s been the Brazilian story since 2006. Disappointing end.

[Sameer Assanie @assanie8]

Oh no.. Haaland. That’s all he needs.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

As a fan, I am obviously overjoyed that Balogun will get to play and that this injustice was corrected. But man does this look awful for FIFA and it will make the rest of the world feel like the tournament was rigged.

[Sameer Assanie @assanie8]

What a bad penalty…

[The Athletic @TheAthletic]

Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium, with his one-game red-card ban that he received against Bosnia and Herzegovina suspended.

Article 27 of FIFA’s disciplinary code states that “the judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure.”

THE ATLAS LIONS ARE HEADED BACK TO THE QUARTERFINALS BEHIND AN OUNAHI DOUBLE 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

Morocco become the first African nation to reach the World Cup quarterfinals multiple times.

Making the entire continent proud 🌍👏

[Sameer Assanie @assanie8]

Late to watching the end of ARG v. Cape Verde and wow! What an equalizer in ET.

Cape Verde played so proud. This is why the World Cup is so special!

From Egypt advancing on penalties, to Argentina just hanging on, to Colombia’s very strong display, what a day of football!
