#广场预测世界杯赢40000U Belgium beat the US 4-1 to advance to the quarterfinals, all host nations eliminated; Trump once said: if Belgium wins, there must be a conspiracy

In a just-concluded round of 16 match at the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup, Belgium defeated the US 4-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. US forward Balogun, who was "resurrected after a red card," started but failed to save his team. All three host nations of this World Cup were eliminated in this knockout round.

In the first half, Belgium forward De Ketelaere scored twice, while US player Tillman converted a free kick. Vanaken scored in the second half after capitalizing on a mistake by the US goalkeeper, and Lukaku added another goal in stoppage time to seal the win for Belgium. With that, all three host teams—the US, Mexico, and Canada—lost in the round of 16. Belgium will face Spain in the quarterfinals.

Balogun, the US's top scorer who received a red card in the round of 16, was granted a one-year suspended ban by FIFA for a one-match suspension. This makes him the first player since the introduction of red and yellow cards at the 1970 World Cup to continue playing in his team's next World Cup match despite receiving a red card. In the round of 16 game against Belgium, the "resurrected" Balogun started but failed to score.

Belgium goalkeeper Courtois became the first Belgian player to make 20 World Cup appearances. The 34-year-old goalkeeper became the third goalkeeper in World Cup history to reach 20 appearances, after Neuer and Lloris.
