What is at stake for USA and Belgium?

The USA have impressed at the tournament so far, beating Paraguay, Australia and Bosnia-Herzegovina and suffering a sole defeat to Turkey.

Mauricio Pochettino's side topped their group and beat Bosnia 2-0 in the round of 32, thanks to goals from Folarin Balogun and Malik Tillman.

However, Balogun will be suspended for the clash with Belgium after he was sent off against Bosnia and the Monaco star will be a big loss as he is the USA's top scorer at the tournament.

Belgium, meanwhile, topped their group on goal difference and needed extra-time to beat Senegal 3-2 in a dramatic round of 32 clash.

Rudi Garcia's side were 2-0 down and on the verge of elimination before Romelu Lukaku got one back in the 86th minute and Youri Tielemans equalised in the 89th.

Tielemans then scored the winning goal from the penalty spot after a seven-minute VAR review ruled that Lamine Camara had fouled the Aston Villa midfielder.
