USA Eliminated After Loss to Belgium

The United States was eliminated from the World Cup 2026 after a 4-1 defeat to Belgium, despite former President Trump's unsuccessful appeal for Balogun's red card reversal.

The U.S. team's World Cup journey ended with a 1-4 loss to Belgium, despite Trump's intervention regarding Balogun's disputed red card. The former president claimed there was no foul in the incident that led to the expulsion, though his appeal to FIFA was unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Spain advanced to the quarter-finals with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Portugal, thanks to Mikel Merino's 91st-minute goal.

In other tournament news, controversy emerged following comments by a Paraguayan senator about Mbappé, who reportedly stated "instead of his mother's milk, he sucked coconuts." Belgium will now face Spain in the quarter-finals after their convincing win over the eliminated American side. lebandit.lat
