U.S. World Cup Run: Glory and Heartbreak | MLS News
Description
The U.S. men’s soccer team electrified the World Cup with a dazzling start, hammering Paraguay 4-1 and featuring breakout star Folarin Balogun’s two goals. They followed up with a historic 2-0 win over Australia, their first two group wins since 1930, locking in first place. Young defender Alex Freeman added a goal, while injuries to stars Pulisic and McKennie shadowed the campaign. In the knockout stage, they stunned Bosnia 2-0 — their first since 1998 — before a shocking 4-1 loss to Belgium ended their run. A controversial red card suspension for Balogun moments before the Belgium match may have tipped the scales, but the team’s future looks brighter than ever.
