Team USA faces a monumental World Cup Round of 16 match against Belgium in Seattle tonight. A victory would propel the host nation into their first quarterfinals since 2002 and break several historic records.
The U.S. last beat Belgium at the World Cup in 1930. The match presents a chance to end that 96-year drought. It also offers coach Mauricio Pochettino the opportunity to guide the team deeper into the tournament than any U.S. side has gone since 2002.
A win would secure a spot in the quarterfinals for the first time in 24 years. The high-stakes match at Lumen Field has seen ticket prices soar to record averages of $2,500. Star forward Folarin Balogun, who scored against Bosnia, is available to play after a red card suspension was lifted.
