Lloyd Criticises Pulisic After US Exit

The United States exited the 2026 World Cup after a 4‑1 loss to Belgium in the round of 16 at Seattle Stadium. Carli Lloyd, a two‑time World Cup winner, criticized the team’s lack of confidence and Pulisic’s underperformance, noting that the Americans fell before they even stepped onto the pitch.

Pulisic, who did not score and was sidelined by injury earlier in the tournament, failed to inspire the squad. Lloyd said she expected more from the star, and the exit leaves the U.S. to rebuild momentum as the tournament continues. sport-newz.biz
