Yep. They made our US team look like amateurs and embarrassed them on the public stage. Theres no other way to dice that tomato.

Here's the actual problem. The US team did quite well during the tournament as a whole. They outperformed what most actual football fans would consider their ceiling. Yet, the media and especially the Americans here on Reddit hyped them up so much that they were bound to not meet expectations. The simple truth is that the US football team is around top 20 in the world and is not even close to the actual good teams. But media hype always kills good performances because they're hidden behind the expectations of insane performances.

The Trump shit show didn't help either.

Iā€™m kinda biased but I think Canada did better against Morocco than US did against Belgium.
