At 3 p.m. ET, the two European teams will face off from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., and only half of the duo will be able to call themselves a 2026 World Cup semifinalist. For Spain, their expectations are through the roof; this group has shown to be capable of being called one of the world’s best. Lamine Yamal, at 18 years old, has already established himself as one of the best players on the planet, and his legacy grows with each round achieved at his first World Cup campaign.
For Belgium, a country whose «Golden Generation» has now reached the ballpark of 30 years old or more, is still kicking at this year’s tournament. A narrow 3-2 comeback win over Senegal and a convincing 4-1 victory over the U.S. have lifted the Red Devils to their first quarterfinal appearance since the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when they had their country’s best finish of third place. A win over a strong Spanish side would shock the world, but at the World Cup, anything is possible.
The winner of this match will take on the winner of France vs. Morocco in the semifinals.
