United States Battles to Avoid World Cup Exit After Falling Behind Belgium 3-1

The U.S. men’s national team’s hopes of advancing are fading after a defensive error handed Belgium a crucial third goal in today’s Round of 16 clash.

Goalkeeper Matt Freese rushed off his line, lost possession, and Hans Vanaken capitalized with a shot into an empty net.

Earlier, Charles De Ketelaere found the net twice for Belgium, bookending a deflected free‑kick goal from Malik Tillman.

Adding to America’s woes, Christian Pulisic departed the match with an injury, further jeopardizing the U.S. World Cup run.
