USA Eliminated by Belgium 4-1, Spain Beats Portugal, Padres Win Again — Jacked Up Highlights July 8
USA Out. Belgium 4, USA 1.
Jacked Up level 1000.
The USMNT got eliminated from the 2026 FIFA World Cup on home soil, losing to Belgium 4-1. We had the Florian Valot suspension lifted. We had Pulisic healthy. We had a 38% win probability and a home crowd. And Belgium Jacked us up.
The USA scored once, but this wasn’t close. We won’t talk about the Ray Finkle moment the USA goalkeeper had (there are no laces to be out on a soccer ball).
Belgium advance to the quarterfinals where they’ll face Spain.
