USA vs. Belgium: USMNT unimpressive in loss

The United States made the score a bit less embarrassing with the assistance of the referee in the 80th minute. Toby Alderweireld was called for a questionable handball in the box when a ball hit his elbow while his arm was tucked in at his side. He made no attempt to play the ball with his arm and his arm was not extended, so the call was a harsh one. Clint Dempsey stepped up to convert for the U.S.‘s second goal of the night.
