The United States' World Cup journey came to a heartbreaking end on Tuesday as the Stars and Stripes suffered a 2-1 extra time defeat to Belgium at the Arena Fonte Nova.
Jurgen Klinsmann's side accomplished its initial goal in Brazil by advancing out of the supposed "Group of Death", but facing a Belgium side that did not look convincing during its group-stage games, the Americans had to feel that Tuesday's clash was a very winnable affair.
