Spain is through to the quarterfinals. And when the whistle— with that whistle, Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup career comes to a close. 5 World Cups, a generational competitor. The camera stayed on him as he walked off the pitch. That is a moment. Whether you love him or root against him, you were watching greatness exit the stage. And then in the evening at Seahawks Stadium in Seattle, the United States versus Belgium. And it was tough to watch, quite honestly. Belgium four, USA one. The defense for the United States did not hold up. The Red Devils got a first half goal and early second half goal, and the game got away early, right? United States men national teams go home. The co-hosts, the home crowd—they're all out in the round of sixteen. A hard night for American soccer. And then there's two matches today, and the round of sixteen closes at noon in Atlanta. Argentina versus Egypt.
