Road to the Round of 16

The clash between the USA and Belgium brings back memories from their last encounter in the 2014 World Cup Round of 16, where Belgium won 2-1. Neither team had an easy path this time. The USA secured their spot by defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0, with goals from Folarin Balogun and Malik Tillman. Belgium’s journey was dramatic, overturning a 2-0 deficit against Senegal late in the game, thanks to goals from Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans, with Tielemans scoring the winning penalty in extra time.

Team Lineups and Stakes

The rosters have changed since 2014. None of the USA players from that year remain, but Belgium retains key figures like goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Kevin De Bruyne, and Romelu Lukaku. Belgium seeks its first quarterfinal appearance since finishing third in 2018. The USA aims to avenge their previous loss and reach the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.
