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

USA Faces Belgium in World Cup Round of 16

The United States and Belgium meet again in the Round of 16 after their 2014 World Cup clash, where Belgium edged a 2-1 victory. Both teams had to fight hard to reach this stage. The USA secured their spot by defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0, with goals from Folarin Balogun and Malik Tillman. Belgium’s path was more dramatic, overcoming a late 2-0 deficit against Senegal thanks to Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans, who scored twice including a penalty in extra time.

The squads have changed since 2014; none of the US players remain from that squad, but Belgium retains key figures like goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, and striker Romelu Lukaku. Belgium aims to reach the quarterfinals for the first time since 2018, while the US wants to both avenge the 2014 loss and return to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.
