Team USA was knocked out of the World Cup Tuesday, but even elimination couldn’t stop Hollywood from supporting the men’s national soccer team on Twitter and Instagram.
After USA lost to Belgium 2-1 and were sent home, fans were anything but critical.
The team advanced further than most expected, after all, and fans — A-listers and Average Joes alike — were extremely proud of their country’s effort.

A few of those who offered support were Aaron Paul, Sarah Hyland and Josh Duhamel, musicians Enrique Iglesias and Kevin Jonas, athletes Kobe Bryant and Danica Patrick, and supermodel Lily Aldridge.
Even former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger chimed in with some kind words.
