USA vs Belgium LIVE Score: The line-ups are in, and the contrast is sharp.

Belgium, meanwhile, have taken the braver call, leaving Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Jeremy Doku on the bench for a knockout tie in Seattle tonight.

USA XI: Matt Freese, Sergino Dest, Chris Richards, Tyler Adams, Antonee Robinson, Weston McKennie, Christian Pulisic, Tim Ream, Alex Freeman, Malik Tillman, Folarin Balogun.

Belgium XI: Thibaut Courtois, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper, Youri Tielemans, Leandro Trossard, Charles De Ketelaere, Timothy Castagne, Nathan Ngoy, Nicolas Raskin, Amadou Onana, Dodi Lukebakio.

Jul 7, 2026, 04:54:02 IST

USA vs Belgium LIVE Score: Two routes, one knockout collision

USA vs Belgium LIVE Score: USA have arrived at this Round of 16 with the cleaner, more controlled story: topping Group D, leaning on structure, tempo and a 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Belgium's road has felt far more turbulent - a 5-1 statement to advance, then a tense 3-2 extra-time escape against Senegal. Different routes, same pressure tonight.

Jul 7, 2026, 04:45:06 IST

USA vs Belgium LIVE Score: Belgium bench carries its own warning

USA vs Belgium LIVE Score: Blegium have not started Kevin de Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku or Jeremy Doku, but that only makes their threat more layered. Leandro Trossard, Charles de Ketelaere and Dodi Lukebakio give them movement and pace from the first whistle, while Youri Tielemans can dictate rhythm. For USA, the danger is not just Belgium's XI; it is what can arrive later.

Jul 7, 2026, 04:36:01 IST

USA vs Belgium LIVE Score: Belgium have more than Balogun to worry about

USA vs Belgium LIVE Score: Folarin Balogun has been USA's sharpest tournament weapon, but Belgium's concern cannot stop there. Malik Tillman's set-piece threat, Christian Pulisic's movement between line and Tyler Adams' midfield control have given the hosts different ways to hurt teams. For Belgium, this is not about stopping one man. It is about surviving a USA Side with confidence spread across the pitch.

Jul 7, 2026, 04:14:27 IST

USA vs Belgium LIVE Score: Balogun twist adds fresh fire to USA-Belgium knockout night

USA vs Belgium LIVE Score: Folarin Balogun's late clearance has added a fresh layer of tension to USA's biggest night of the tournament. Belgium had expected the striker to miss this last-16 tie after his red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina, but he is available in Seattle, where the hosts chase their first World Cup quarterfinal since 2002. A tactical fight has suddenly acquired a controversy-laced edge.
