The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) is set to face Belgium in a crucial World Cup round of 16 match at Lumen Field in Seattle on Monday, July 6. This highly anticipated matchup will feature a clash between U.S. standout Malik Tillman and Belgium's Kevin De Bruyne.
Last-minute tickets for the match are available, with prices starting at $2,353 including fees for 300-level seats on SeatGeek. Higher-tier seating, such as 100-level seats, begins at $3,267. A promotional code, NYPOST10, offers $10 off purchases over $250 for first-time SeatGeek users.
The U.S. team enters the game with a notable disadvantage as forward Folarin Balogun is suspended for one match due to a controversial red card received in the previous round. Manager Mauricio Pochettino described the incident as an "accidental" and "normal action in football" that did not warrant a red card.
Despite Balogun's absence, oddsmakers at DraftKings have positioned the U.S. as favorites at -130 to advance to the quarterfinals. However, past encounters with Belgium present a significant challenge for the U.S. team. Belgium defeated the USMNT 5-2 in a March 2026 friendly, and also secured a victory in a 2014 World Cup round of 16 match.
The rosters for both teams include:
USMNT: Goalkeepers: Chris Brady, Matt Freese, Matt Turner Defenders: Max Arfsten, Sergiño Dest, Alex Freeman, Mark McKenzie, Tim Ream, Chris Richards, Antonee Robinson, Miles Robinson, Joe Scally, Auston Trusty Midfielders: Tyler Adams, Sebastian Berhalter, Weston McKennie, Gio Reyna, Cristian Roldan, Malik Tillman Forwards: Brenden Aaronson, Folarin Balogun, Ricardo Pepi, Christian Pulisic, Tim Weah, Haji Wright, Alejandro Zendejas
