"Not our sport. Not our sport, not our pioneers. Thinking we had an awesome tournament and today we just did not bring it. Belgium was the better team. The mood was really high but unfortunately in the end the mood kind of fell apart. Heading the ball toward the middle of the field is not a good idea and you give up one it really affects the psyche of the rest of the team. We celebrated about any team that played here over the course and it was a lovely time hosting other countries."

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">The US should be banned from all international sporting tournaments on their soil when the president feels he can control games and decide what is right or wrong. Trump should'nt have the power to ask for the decision of a referee to be reversed and all the time he does this the USA must be banned.</p>

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">It was sad for true US of football fans but good they're out of the World Cup tournament given Trumps's cheating. They deserved to be out. I feel so sorry for the team as it must have been embarrassing to have a red card withdrawn when other teams accept theirs. Fate chose to show cheating fails.</p>
