The World Cup knockouts continue with another Round of 16 match. We’ve compiled everything you need to know about how to watch USA vs. Belgium, including free and global streaming options
The United States and Belgium will face off in Seattle to determine which team will advance to the quarterfinals. The hotly anticipated match comes after a Round of 32 game between the USA and Bosnia-Herzegovina, in which US striker Folarin Balogun received a red card and was sent off. A red card during the World Cup tournament also means a player is suspended from the next game, but FIFA has suspended the ban for a probationary period of one year, so Balogun should now be eligible to compete in tonight’s Round of 16 game.
