Romelu Lukaku hit the Trump dance after scoring Belgium's fourth goal against Team USA, clowning the Americans on their own soil in a 4-1 knockout loss.

After weeks of excitement ended with a defeat to Belgium, Americans have a sense of gratitude but also a missed opportunity.

On Monday, co-hosts USA will strive to reach the quarterfinals of a World Cup for only the second time as it takes on Belgium in a match already mired in controversy before a ball has even been kicked.

United States forward Christian Pulisic could only watch from the bench as Belgium extinguished his team’s World Cup bid, ending a tournament in which the American star was hobbled by injuries and largely ineffective.

Team USA got its best scoring weapon back for Monday’s Round of 16 game against Belgium, but it shouldn’t have happened.

The defining image of a day that saw the U.S. men's national team eliminated from the World Cup might be goalie Matt Freese's second-half miscue in a 4-1 loss.
