Co-hosts USA have been boosted by news that Folarin Balogun is available for their FIFA World Cup 2026 last-16 clash with Belgium in Seattle – and you can live stream the game around the world for free.
Balogun went clean in the 2-0 win over Bosnia in the last 32, scoring his third goal of the tournament before receiving a straight red card for a clumsy challenge on Tarik Muharemovic in the second half. America’s top scorer looked set to miss the clash with Belgium as a result, but FIFA announced on Sunday that his one-match ban would be suspended for a year – with US President Donald Trump later revealing he had asked FIFA counterpart Gianni Infantino to review the decision. It’s a huge boost for USMNT boss Mauricio Pochettino, whose side are the last co-hosts left in the competition after Canada and Mexico exited at the weekend.
Seattle is familiar territory for Belgium, who drew their opening game against Egypt here before bouncing back for their dramatic 32-run win over Senegal. The Red Devils looked dead and buried in the latter game as they went into the closing stages 2-0 down, but Romelu Lukaku and captain Youri Tielemans scored in quick succession to take the game to extra-time, before Tielemans was awarded a controversial penalty with almost the last kick of the game. Manager Rudi Garcia will know his side got out of jail and must improve against USA, with Lukaku pushing to start after impressing from the bench.
