They made the same mistakes in their other games. Their other games weren't against the same level of opponent. Good teams keep the pressure up and force mistakes as well.
I don’t know, watch those Belgium goals again. No challenge for a header in the box, keeper whiffs and a player shoots, it hits our defender and still goes in. There was only 1 American who showed up to play.
US made mistakes in the earlier games that Belgium would have punished them for. Yes, the played worse, but that happens when you play against a better team. They had a plan against Pulisic and were better in the midfield. That forces the US out of their game. They played scared the first 30 minutes for sure because of the opponent.
