The USMNT's 2026 FIFA World Cup came to a disappointing end after a lifeless 4-1 Round of 16 defeat to Belgium. Mauricio Pochettino's side was second best from start to finish, raising serious questions about the team's progress, mentality, and ability to compete with the world's elite.
Poppy Miller, Charlie Davies, Tony Meola, and Marcelo Balboa break down what went wrong, from Poch's lineup and in-game decisions to the performances that defined the night. The crew also discuss the lifting of Folarin Balogun's suspension, hand out player ratings, debate who should wear the captain's armband going forward, and ask whether there are any positives to take from the USMNT's 2026 World Cup campaign.

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola set their sights on the Round of 16 after the USMNT's convincing 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina booked a showdown with Belgium. With Folarin Balogun suspended, the crew debates whether Ricardo Pepi is the obvious choice to lead the line or if Mauricio Pochettino should consider another option.
Then it's all about the Red Devils. The guys break down the projected starting XIs, identify Belgium's biggest strengths and vulnerabilities, and share their three keys to pulling off a famous victory.
And Tony reflects on the 2002 USMNT squad that made the nation's only World Cup quarterfinal to date, and what this current group can learn as it looks to make history.
