USMNT faces Belgium in World Cup round of 16 match

The United States men's national team is competing against Belgium in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup on July 6. This match marks the USMNT's attempt to secure its first knockout round win since 2002, having already achieved its first knockout stage victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Historically, the U.S. has a challenging record in the round of 16, with only one win in six attempts. A victory today would not only propel the U.S. to the quarterfinals for the second time in its World Cup history but would also mark a milestone of winning two knockout round matches in a single tournament for the first time. The match is currently in progress.
