Spain vs Belgium: Rock-Solid Defense Meets Resurgent Devils in World Cup Quarterfinal

The SoFi Stadium in Inglewood sets the stage for a massive World Cup 2026 quarterfinal on Friday, July 10, as Spain and Belgium battle for a semifinal spot. Kickoff is at 10:00 PM local time (broadcast live on MEGOGO), with English referee Michael Oliver in charge. Spain enters the match with a perfect defensive record – zero goals conceded. Goalkeeper Unai Simón has broken the World Cup record for the longest shutout streak, and Luis de la Fuente's side has been a model of control. They eased through the group stage against Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, and Cape Verde, then dismissed Austria 3-0 in the round of 32 and edged Portugal 1-0 in a tense Iberian derby. Their backline is the foundation of their success. Belgium, on the other hand, looked sluggish early in the tournament. Rudi Garcia's team lacked fire until the controversy around Folarin Balogun sparked a response. In the round of 32, the Red Devils erupted for a 4-1 thrashing of the United States, leaving several stars on the bench yet still dominating. Now they face their toughest test: cracking Spain's historic defense. Projected lineups: Spain – Simón; Porro, Cubarsí, Laporte, Cucurella; Rodri, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Baena; Oyarzabal. Belgium – Courtois; Castagne, Ngoy, Mechele, De Cuyper; Vanaken, Tielemans; Doku, De Bruyne, Trossard; De Ketelaere. Betking odds: Spain to win in regular time – 4.00, Belgium – 1.92, draw – 3.75.
