United States vs Belgium Team News
The United States will rely heavily on their European-based core. Christian Pulisic remains the focal point of the attack, supported by Folarin Balogun and Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie. However, the hosts are without defender Sergiño Dest, who is still recovering from a long-term knee injury sustained during his time in the Eredivisie.
Belgium, currently undergoing a generational transition under Domenico Tedesco, has travelled with a blend of experience and emerging talent. While Kevin De Bruyne remains the heartbeat of the midfield, much of the attention is on Jérémy Doku and Loïs Openda.
