Have USA and Belgium met at a World Cup before?

Once, in one of the most famous games in US soccer history. In the 2014 Round of 16, Belgium beat the USA 2-1 after extra time, with Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku scoring and Julian Green pulling one back. It is remembered above all for Tim Howard, whose 16 saves set a World Cup record for a single match and still could not save the run. Twelve years on, the rematch lands in the same round, this time on American soil.

What is each team's World Cup story?

USA

The USA are at their 12th World Cup and hosting this one alongside Mexico and Canada. Their best finish remains a semi-final place at the very first tournament in 1930; the modern high point is the 2002 quarter-final. A home Round of 16 is a chance to write a new chapter.

Belgium

Belgium are at their 15th World Cup, and the golden generation that finished third in 2018 has evolved rather than faded. Beating Senegal to reach the last 16 keeps their bid for a first title alive. See the full squads and fixtures on the USA and Belgium team pages.
