FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 : UNITED STATES OF AMERICA VS BELGIUM – 07/07/2026 (PHOTO – LUKAKU CELEBRATES)

WELL THIS WAS AN INTERESTING MATCH LAST NIGHT! AFTER ALL THE BUILD-UP TO THE GAME, EVEN THE CONTROVERSIAL INTERVENTION OF U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IN ASKING FIFA TO RESCIND THEIR STAR STRIKER FOLARIN BALOGUN’S ONE-MATCH BAN WAS NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE THE U.S. SQUAD FROM THE HONED SKILLS OF LUKAKU & CO!
BELGIUM MADE 390 PASSES, WITH AN 83% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 5 CORNERS, PLUS 15 SHOTS, WITH 7 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING A BRILLIANT BRACE FROM CHARLES DE KETELAERE AT 9 MINS. AND 33 MINS RESPECTIVELY (BELOW)….

PLUS A CRACKER FROM JANS VANAKEN AT 57 MINS., AND A STUNNING FINISHER FROM ROMELU LUKAKU IN STOPPAGE TIME AT 90 +3 MINS. THE U.S.A. TEAM MADE 476 PASSES, WITH AN 89% PASS ACCURACY, AND INTERESTINGLY, HAD 57% POSSESSION, PLUS 6 SHOTS, WITH 2 ON-TARGET, WITH A STUNNER FROM MALIK TILLMAN AT 31 MINS., MEANING THAT AFTER 90 MINS. ALL THE EXCITEMENT ENDED IN A 4 – 1 WIN TO BELGIUM!  MUCH STICK WAS GIVEN BY THE BELGIAN FANS TO THE U.S. TEAM, ABOUT THE ‘BALOGUN BAN OVERTURN’ SAYING “OVERTURN THIS”, WITH MANY EMULATING PRESIDENT TRUMP’S Y.M.C.A. DANCE!  SO MUCH FUN WAS HAD BY ALL.  AND THAT’S WHAT SPORT IS ALL ABOUT REALLY, ISN’T IT?
