‘Not our sport’: U.S. World Cup fans react to the team’s loss

The U.S. national team exited the World Cup the way U.S. men’s teams so often have: with enough promise to believe something bigger was possible, and enough evidence to show why it still remains out of reach. Fans in the U.S. reacted to the 4-1 loss against Belgium with a mix of disappointment and gratitude. “I'm thinking we had an awesome tournament, and today we just did not bring it,” said Matt Petrick, a U.S. soccer fan.
