The most recent encounter was in 2014, during the Round-of-16 of the World Cup, where Belgium won 2-1 in added extra time, after a record-setting performance by USA's goalkeeper Tim Howard. Now, they face off again 12 years later.

The United States and Belgium will kickoff at 15:30 PM ET in the ATL.

While losing to Belgium is not the end of the world, the fact is the United States need to show good things this game. They host the World Cup in just a few months, and the expectations are quite high for this generation. A win here could catapult them into new heights, while a loss could put some doubts over the team.
