"Key reasons for the disconnect:

Poor start and lack of control: The U.S. struggled to impose themselves, with Belgium dictating play and capitalizing on American mistakes (Soccer News)

Inconsistent attack: The offense never clicked against elite competition, failing to create sustained pressure.

Defensive lapses: The U.S. conceded early and often, allowing Belgium to exploit gaps.

Injuries and fitness issues: Star player Christian Pulisic was hampered by injury, limiting his impact.

Home-field advantage not enough: Despite packed stadiums and high expectations, the U.S. couldn’t match Belgium’s intensity and execution.

Pochettino acknowledged the performance was below their usual standards and suggested it was a collective and individual failure to approach the game as they normally do.. The loss marked the sixth straight time the U.S. has been eliminated in the Round of 16 at the World Cup.

In short, the U.S. didn’t connect because they lacked the control, creativity, and composure to compete with Belgium’s disciplined and clinical style, compounded by injury issues and a lack of consistent attacking threat".

You are not paying any attention to what the participants themselves actually said.

I will have no further responses to a purely political hatchet job.
