The USA became the final co-host knocked out of this year's World Cup after Belgium humbled them 4-1 on home soil. With the distraction of Donald Trump's intervention over Flo Balogun's suspension this week, former USMNT goalkeeper Brad Friedel reflects on whether it was just the right motivation for the Belgians in the build-up and what may be next for Mauricio Pochettino.

Meanwhile, with a whole host of changes in the dugout this summer, former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez reflects on his stint at Panathinaikos and gives us his considerations on the World Cup so far.
