## Resource

Belgium’s late penalty—now the latest goal ever in World Cup history—sealed their dramatic extra-time win, proving they can dig deep when it matters. Despite a sluggish performance and star players underutilized, their Premier League talent, smart subs, and clinical finishing (led by Tielemans, Trossard, and Lukaku) made them dangerous. The U.S., who fought through ten men, now face a team that thrives on resilience and set pieces—but also has midfield vulnerabilities and struggles with central speed. Expect a tense, high-stakes battle where Belgium’s experience could be the edge.
