The United States are hoping to prolong their dream home World Cup as they face Belgium with a place in the quarter-finals on the line
Mauricio Pochettino guided the US to only their second-ever knockouts win as they brushed aside Bosnia and Herzegovina, with star man Folarin Balogun and Malik Tillman scoring in Santa Clara
However, the co-hosts are now at the centre of controversy after Fifa had Balogun’s red card from that game wiped, reportedly after being lobbied by the White House
Belgium, who produced the most dramatic win of the tournament against Senegalin the round of 32 to reach this stage, have branded themselves “astonished” at the decision and will look to overcome what many has seen as preferential treatment towards the host nation
