The USMNT are getting utterly destroyed by Belgium in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite support from home fans.
The USMNT were off to a blazing start at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As a result, many genuinely believed the hosts had a shot at winning the tournament.
However, the last few days haven't been kind to the USMNT. To be fair, FIFA overturning Folarin Balogun's one-game suspension against Belgium has turned many fans into USMNT haters.
This obviously includes a plethora of Team USA fans, who are currently supporting Belgium over their own country.
