- The World Cup round of 16 continues on Monday with two big games – Portugal taking on Spain and the USA facing Belgium.
- Portugal and Spain share a competitive history, with five previous major tournament meetings resulting in one win each and three draws.
- Memorable past encounters include a 3-3 draw at the 2018 World Cup, featuring a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick and a goalless Euro 2012 semi-final won by Spain on penalties. This latest meeting, taking place in Dallas, kicks off at 8pm BST (3pm ET/1pm PT).
- The USA’s record against Belgium is poor, having lost their last six matches since a win back at the 1930 World Cup – Belgium beat the co-hosts 5-2 in a friendly in March.
- Fifa controversially suspended the one-match ban on USA striker Folarin Balogun, making him available for the match in Seattle which kicks off 1am Tuesday BST (8pm ET/6pm PT).
