The US and Turkey had a thrilling showdown in the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage match with the co-host nation being beaten 3-2 thanks to a last gasp winner from Kaan Ayhan.
Notably, the US will still move on to the round of 32 as they have topped Group D and will face Bosnia-Herzegovina next.
Meanwhile, Turkey was already out of the tournament even before the game against the USA, after back to back losses against Australia and Paraguay.
Despite the US' qualification a foregone conclusion, the defeat has left many fans unhappy and they have bizarrely blamed former Vice President Kamala Harris for the loss.
It appears to have begun with a New York Post article which noted that Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff had posted a photo with the caption 'Goal!' just before Turkey netted a second, and took a lead in the game.
However, the outcome of the match would not have altered anything as the US was guaranteed a spot in the knockoffs, having beaten both Paraguay and Australia.
Nonetheless, it led to many of the US team's supporters to blame Kamala Harris, with some even calling it the 'Kamala Curse'.
One fan commented, 'KAMALA CURSE!!!', while another said 'No wonder the US lost! Kamala Harris is bad luck! Who let her attend the game? Where is the outrage?'
However, others pointed out that the loss had little to do with Harris and more to do with the coach's decision to rotate the squad.
