The USMNT will be aiming to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup for the first time in 24 years when it takes on Belgium in Monday’s round of 16 clash at Lumen Field stadium, Seattle city, USA.
The Stars and Stripes have enjoyed an excellent campaign on home soil and emerged as peripheral contenders for the trophy, although they still have some road to travel before truly dreaming of glory. A routine 2–0 victory over Bosnia & Herzegovina in the last round further boosted confidence levels after group stage wins over Paraguay and Australia.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men must be careful during Monday’s match in Seattle, though, especially given the quality Belgium possesses across its roster. The Red Devils have produced several pitiful performances to date, but rallied to a miraculous 3–2 comeback victory over Senegal most recently and still have the capacity to dazzle.
The USMNT knows Belgium’s potential all too well, suffering a 5–2 defeat to Rudi Garcia’s men back in March that marked a sixth-successive loss to the European side. That was the first meeting between the nations since their round of 16 clash at the 2014 World Cup, which Belgium won 2–1 after extra time.
