    USA v Belgium: World Cup 2026 last 16 – live

    ⚽️ Kick-off time: 5pm local/10am AEST/1am BST/8pm EDT ⚽️ Player guide | Bracketology | Golden Boot | Mail Beau Through four games, Belgium have retained 57% of possession with a 65% field tilt – a possession metric weighing only final-third touches – but haven’t found a way to maximize that advantage.

    Merino strikes at the death for Spain to send Portugal and Ronaldo limping out
