If this makes you proud as a USMNT supporter, then you’re part of the problem.
NOW is the time to DEMAND more from US Soccer.
This is supposed to boil your blood. We were sold the idea of a World Cup on our soil changing soccer forever.
We beat the teams we were supposed to beat and lost to the ones better than us. A lot of hype to only end up in the same place as always.
The USMNT experience never changes. They look like a real team for stretches, get to the round of 16, and completely collapse against better competition.
If this is your first time being invested in USA men’s soccer, welcome.
No, the World Cup was not a success for USMNT.
They were eliminated in the Round of 16 just like their last 3 trips to the World Cup.
Pulisic removed himself from the superstar conversation.
They won a knockout game but it came with an expanded field.
Massive dissapointment.
Biggest USMNT game ever, home World Cup, chance to reach the quarterfinals, and they have one of the worst, ugliest performances you can possibly imagine. Unbelievable.
We won’t want to accept it, but that loss makes this World Cup a complete and total failure for the USMNT.
Lost at the same stage as last time, in a much more embarrassing fashion on home soil.
Didn’t beat anyone of note, and got punked by Belgium.
The captain was nonexistent. Injury or not, he’s gotta be way better.
No definite progress made whatsoever.
So much USMNT momentum. So much hype, expectation, buzz, hope that 2026 would be different.
And in the end?
Same result, heavier defeat than 2022, 2014 and 2010.
Still chasing 2002.
Such a letdown.
