USA vs Belgium: Predicted Lineups – 07/07/2026
USA take on Belgium at Seattle Stadium on 07/07/2026 in the Round of 16 of the World Cup 2026. Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be looking to advance past the group stage knockout round on home soil, while Rudi Garcia’s Belgium arrive as one of Europe’s most experienced squads in the tournament. Christian Pulisic remains the standout creative force for the hosts, while Kevin De Bruyne is the obvious danger man for the Belgians. Fans can keep across all the action from this fixture and other matches across the tournament schedule.
USA Predicted Lineup (N/A)
Folarin Balogun is listed as suspended for this fixture, which could yet impact the USA’s attacking options — should he be ruled out, the head coach may need to reshuffle the forward line accordingly. Mark McKenzie (foot injury) and Cristian Roldan (muscle injury) are both doubtful and are unlikely to feature, while Zeno Debast is also listed as unavailable, having returned to training following a leg injury.
