Belgium made it look easy on Monday night in the Round of 16 World Cup win over the United States, with the European team taking advantage of error after error in the 4-1 win in Seattle.
And it came after the Folarin Balogun red card controversy heard 'round the world. First he was sent off in the win over Bosnia and Herzegovina and suspended for the Belgium game. Then, he wasn't after a phone call from Donald Trump to FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
But it didn't ultimately matter on the pitch, and maybe it gave some motivation to Belgium. After the win, the Belgian Red Devils official X (formerly Twitter) account posted a photo of Romelu Lukaku and caption it with some trolling: "Overturn this."
Talk about insult added to injury. That's the roughest.
Is USA eliminated from the 2026 World Cup?
Yes. That's it for one of the host countries in the tournament. Belgium moves on to the quarterfinals.
