Shafaqna English- On Monday(6 Jul 2026), in the knockout round of 16, America’s World Cup hopes were dashed with a 4–1 loss to Belgium; Charles De Ketelaere netted twice, while FIFA’s debatable decision to lift Balogun’s ban cast a heavy shadow over the contest.
De Ketelaere converted a simple tap-in in the 9th minute, fully capitalizing on the Americans’ shaky and anxious start to quickly silence the home crowd’s enthusiasm.
