Everything that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, did to support the American team - even if it contradicted known regulations - was not enough to face Belgium and qualify for the quarter-finals after the red card for Balogun was overturned.
The Belgian team defeated America with four goals to one in the round of 16 of the World Cup.
The match saw the participation of Folarin Balogun, the American team's striker, despite his red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina, after Trump's intervention by contacting Gianni Infantino to review the decision.
FIFA announced Balogun's participation after suspending his one-year ban unless he repeated the mistake and received another red card.
Charles De Ketelaere opened the scoring early in the ninth minute before America equalized with a goal from Malik Tillman in the 31st minute.
America did not hold on for long, as Charles De Ketelaere managed to add the second goal in the 33rd minute.
In the second half, Hans Vanaken scored Belgium's third goal after capitalizing on a grave error in the 57th minute, while Romelu Lukaku concluded the match with a fourth goal in the 93rd minute.
Belgium qualifies to face Spain in the quarter-finals.

Get them, Trump
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, admitted to asking Gianni Infantino, the President of FIFA, to lift the red card from Folarin Balogun, the American team player.
However, Donald Trump was unable to stop "America's expulsion" from the tournament.
Balogun was sent off during the match against Bosnia due to a strong tackle on the foot of Bosnia's Tarik Mehremovic, receiving a direct red card after the referee reviewed the video technology.
Therefore, it was expected that the player would miss the match against Belgium in the round of 16 due to the suspension.
After the match, according to The Athletic network, a FIFA official informed them that "no team has the right to appeal against a player's red card in the World Cup."
Despite this, Balogun participated in the match normally after his suspension was lifted by FIFA following Trump's intervention.
However, what Trump did was not enough to achieve the greatest achievement in football for America and secure qualification for the quarter-finals.
"Get them, Trump" in another attempt for the desired goal.
Farewell to the hosts
The American team bid farewell to the third host of the tournament in the World Cup.
After Canada lost to Morocco in the round of 16, and Mexico lost to England in the same round, this time America was eliminated by Belgium.
The quarter-finals of the World Cup will be without any host country.
