In Laredo , residents are reacting to the US men's soccer team's elimination from the World Cup. The team lost 4-1 to Belgium in the round of 16, ending their run in the tournament. This loss also made the US the last of three host nations to be eliminated.
The team had started strong with a win over Paraguay, but ultimately fell short against Belgium. Local fans are coming to terms with the result, with some finding it difficult to accept.
