FIFA WC: When and Where to Watch Spain vs Belgium

Los Angeles : Spain and Belgium meet in an all-European World Cup quarter-final on Saturday, with Belgium facing the daunting task of becoming the first team to score against Spain in the tournament.

Both nations emerged from the group stage as table toppers, with La Roja then producing one of the standout performances of the Round of 32 to sweep aside Austria 3-0. Luis de la Fuente’s side won a tight Iberian derby with Portugal in the Round of 16 thanks to a stoppage-time winner from Mikel Merino, booking Spain a third successive knockout match against European opposition.

Belgium, meanwhile, have enjoyed a topsy-turvy, goal-filled knockout stage so far. Seemingly down and out when losing 2-0 to Senegal in the Round of 32, the Red Devils rallied to snatch a famous 3-2 extra-time victory. Against co-hosts USA in the Round of 16, it was more straightforward, as Charles De Ketelaere’s first-half double set Belgium on their way to a comfortable 4-1 win in Seattle.

The clash with Spain is Belgium’s third quarter-final in four World Cups and fourth overall. The Red Devils beat La Roja at this stage in 1986 and Brazil in 2018, sandwiching a loss to Argentina in 2014.

For Spain, the quarter-finals have not often been a happy hunting ground. They have only cleared the last eight twice, making it to the final group stage in 1950 and beating Paraguay on their way to lifting the trophy in South Africa 60 years later.
