USA vs. Belgium: Kickoff Time, Live Stream, and TV Info for World Cup Round of 16

The United States and Belgium meet again in the Round of 16 at the World Cup, a rematch of their 2014 encounter where Belgium won 2-1. Neither team had an easy path here. The US secured their spot by defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0, with goals from Folarin Balogun early on and Malik Tillman late in the game.

Belgium had a tougher battle against Senegal, trailing 2-0 as late as the 85th minute. Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans scored in quick succession to push the match into extra time, where Tielemans sealed the win with a penalty in the 125th minute.

Comparing squads, none of the US players from 2014 remain, but Belgium still has familiar names like goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Kevin De Bruyne, and Lukaku. Belgium aims to reach the quarterfinals for the first time since their third-place finish in 2018, while the US wants to avenge their earlier loss and make it to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.
