US media call 1–4 loss to Belgium at 2026 World Cup an "embarrassment"

US sports media and pundits reacted with shock to the American team's 1–4 defeat by Belgium in the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup, describing it as an "embarrassment" and a "reality check." The USA had been among the tournament favourites as a co-host nation. Commentators also noted the irony that Donald Trump's involvement in tournament affairs may have motivated the Belgians.
