USA vs Belgium World Cup Round of 16: Kickoff Time, TV Channel, and Streaming Details
The United States and Belgium meet again in the Round of 16, recalling their 2014 encounter where Belgium won 2-1. Both teams took different paths to get here. The US secured their spot with a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, thanks to goals from Folarin Balogun and Malik Tillman.
Belgium had a tougher journey, trailing Senegal 2-0 until the 85th minute before Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans scored quickly to push the match into extra time. Tielemans then scored a penalty at 125 minutes to seal Belgium’s victory.
The current squads have changed since 2014. None of the US players from that year remain, while Belgium retains stars like goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, and striker Lukaku. Belgium aims for its first quarterfinal since 2018 when they finished third. The US wants to avenge their previous loss and reach the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.
