Summary
Two Round of 16 matches headline Monday’s World Cup slate: Portugal vs. Spain at 3 p.m. ET in Dallas and USA vs. Belgium at 8 p.m. ET in Seattle.
Spain enters unbeaten and unscored upon through four matches, with Mikel Oyarzabal carrying four tournament goals, while Portugal needed a stoppage-time Goncalo Ramos header to beat Croatia 2-1 after advancing from Group K at 1-0-2.
The USA reached this stage with a 2-0 shutout of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Folarin Balogun is available after FIFA suspended the red card he received despite scoring that winner.
Belgium needed extra time to edge Senegal 3-2 and now faces a U.S. side seeking revenge for its 2-1 extra-time loss to Belgium in the 2014 Round of 16.
Both matches air on FOX and stream on FOX One, with the two winners meeting in the quarterfinals.
