Spain and Belgium Battle for Semifinal Spot

Spain face Belgium in the second World Cup quarterfinal at SoFi Stadium, with the winner to meet France in the semifinals.

Spain remain the only team yet to concede a goal and enter as strong favourites, but Belgium, having lost playmaker Youri Tielemans to a late injury, are energized after a visit from King Philippe.

Spanish star Lamine Yamal made headlines with his pre-match routine, while Belgian players spoke of a hunger to finally deliver a trophy for their golden generation.

The clash offers a chance for Spain's new wave to prove their pedigree on the biggest stage.
