Today's World Cup quarterfinal is a big one:
• Spain 🇪🇸 vs. Belgium 🇧🇪
The winner advances to face France in the semifinal after France defeated Morocco 2-0 yesterday.
Here's some of the drama to watch:
Spain has been nearly unbeatable defensively. They have not conceded a single goal in the tournament, making them the toughest defense left in the World Cup.
Belgium is coming in with confidence after a dominant 4-1 victory over the United States, proving they can score against strong opponents.
It's a clash of styles: Spain prefers controlling possession and patiently creating chances, while Belgium is dangerous on quick counterattacks led by its experienced stars.
Key players to watch:
Spain: Lamine Yamal — the teenage sensation whose dribbling and creativity can change a game.
Spain: Rodri — the midfield anchor who controls the tempo.
Spain: Mikel Oyarzabal — Spain's leading scorer in the tournament.
Belgium: Kevin De Bruyne — one of the world's best playmakers, back in the lineup.
Belgium: Romelu Lukaku — a powerful striker who has been scoring important goals.
Belgium: Thibaut Courtois — an elite goalkeeper who may have to keep Belgium alive if Spain dominates possession.
The biggest question is simple: Can Belgium become the first team to score on Spain in this World Cup, or will Spain's defense continue its incredible run?
