USA vs Belgium: Kickoff Time, Live Stream, and TV Info for World Cup Round of 16
The USA faces off against Belgium in the Round of 16, revisiting their 2014 World Cup clash where Belgium won 2-1. Both teams had different paths to this stage. The USA secured their spot with a 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, featuring goals from Folarin Balogun and Malik Tillman.
Belgium's route was tougher. Trailing Senegal 2-0 until the 85th minute, they rallied with goals from Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans to push the game into extra time. Tielemans then scored a penalty at the 125th minute to seal the win.
The team lineups have changed since 2014. None of the USA players from that year remain, but Belgium still has key figures like goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Kevin De Bruyne, and Lukaku. Belgium seeks its first quarterfinal since finishing third in 2018, while the US aims to avenge the previous loss and reach the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.
