Team USA lost their place in the FIFA World Cup 2014 to Belgium, Tim Howard broke a 50 year record of defended attempts at a goal in a single World Cup game, people banded together and saw the majesty of the sport that the rest of the world actually cares about for once in the history of the entire freakin' country, but more importantly: we lost. "We" lost. All of us. Because now soccer is dead again and the USA's World Cup loss rang through Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, Facebook feeds and the rest of the internet showing off exactly how much it hurts to lose at something that the WORLD is watching. Kind of like the Olympics, but in a way that actually matters and that people actually watch.
We're never eating Brussels Sprouts again. Unless they're covered in bacon. Which is how they should be eaten. Let's move on...
Although, when you think about it the Olympics, for the rest of the world, is kind of like the World Cup is for America: sports we all pretend to care about when they're here and our entire country is involved as a team, and then stop caring about once we lose.
Anyway, here in one place are all the greatest, funniest, and best Twitter reactions, funny tweets, sad tweets, hilarious Reddit posts, and Tumblr shares (Tumbls? Are they Tumbls) relating to the US losing their match to Belgium and the fact that for us, the World Cup is over. Unless we're going to spite-root for Argentina. Which we will be. Suck it, Belgium.
