WORLD CUP | U.S. Routed 4-1 by Belgium in Round of 16 as Pochettino Faces Contract Decision

The United States’ World Cup ended with a 4-1 round-of-16 loss to Belgium at Lumen Field on Monday evening, with Malik Tillman scoring on a deflected free kick and goalkeeper Matt Freese’s second-half mistake helping swing the match away from the Americans, according to Yahoo Sports. Coach Mauricio Pochettino, whose contract expires this month, said talks about a possible renewal could begin in the next weeks if the U.S. Soccer Federation wants to discuss it.
