The U.S. men’s national team is looking to punch its ticket to the World Cup quarterfinal for the first time since 2002 when it faces Belgium in the round of 16 on Monday night in Seattle.
Led by manager Mauricio Pochettino, the USMNT will seek to maintain the momentum from its 2–0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 32, a match which has taken center stage in the U.S. mainstream after star striker Folarin Balogun received a red card, a decision that has since been contentiously suspended.
