Summary
Lumen Field in Seattle hosts the United States-Belgium round-of-16 match Monday night, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. ET.
Folarin Balogun returns to the USMNT starting lineup after FIFA reversed his one-game red-card suspension from the 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, a move Belgium opposed.
The Americans reached the knockout match after going 2-0-1 to win Group D, then advancing with that 2-0 round-of-32 victory despite playing about 40 minutes a man down.
A U.S. win would send Mauricio Pochettino's side into a quarterfinal against either Portugal or Spain, which would mark the program's first last-eight appearance since 2002.
