USMNT Ready to Shock Belgium | MLS News

The USMNT is primed for a historic run at the World Cup, facing Belgium in a high-stakes Round of 16 clash that could send them to the quarterfinals for the first time in 20+ years. A major boost? Folarin Balogun’s suspension is overturned, locking in the same winning lineup that delivered their last victory — a huge psychological and tactical advantage. With Balogun back in the attack, the USMNT’s offense gains a lethal edge, while a stout defense led by Tim Ream and Chris Richards braces for Belgium’s firepower. Tyler Adams must neutralize Belgium’s midfield maestros, while Malik Tillman and Weston McKennie drive the attack — and Christian Pulisic remains the key playmaker who can break open defenses. This is a must-win battle — victory could set up a thrilling quarterfinal showdown against Portugal or Spain.
