The USMNT's World Cup run is over after getting run off the field by Belgium, and we're asking the hard question: are they just…mid? We break down another disappointing exit, whether the Balogun suspension drama had any impact, and laugh at FOX's desperate attempts to convince America to keep watching the tournament.
