This market will resolve to YES if the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) scores 2 or more goals against Belgium during their Round of 16 match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled for Monday, July 6, 2026. It will resolve to NO if the USA scores 1 or 0 goals.

• Own Goals: Any own goals scored by Belgian players in favor of the USA will count as goals scored by the USA.

The primary source of truth for the final score and official statistics will be the FIFA World Cup Match Center or the official U.S. Soccer Match Hub.

Background

The USMNT booked their place in the Round of 16 of the home 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32. They face Belgium on July 6 at Seattle Stadium (Lumen Field).

The USA will have to navigate this match without starting striker Folarin Balogun, who is suspended after receiving a red card in the 64th minute of the previous round. Balogun is currently the team’s leading scorer of the tournament with three goals.

This match is a rematch of the famous 2014 World Cup Round of 16 clash, where Belgium defeated the USA 2-1 in extra time despite a historic 16-save performance by goalkeeper Tim Howard. More recently, the two sides met in an international friendly in March 2026, which Belgium won 5-2.
