Spain’s campaign has been built onrophic control: nine goals for, none against, a 9‑point cushion that earned them a quiet 4‑3‑1‑0 against the world’s best. They’ll ride that momentum in a 4‑3‑3 that sits deep, pressing high and chaining 企业 through the center. Every pass from the back is a launchpad for Oyarzabal’s lethal finish, and Cucurella’s two assists suggest the wing‑backs are already looking to add width to keep Belgium’s compact defense off balance. Belgium, meanwhile, has proven to be a counter‑attack power‑house, 13 goals from five games and a 5‑goal concession record that shows a team built for transition threat. Lukaku’s 3 goals and Trossard’s 2 assists mean the “Red Devils” will look to exploit any lapse in Spain’s pressing rhythm and use quick, incisive runs to capitalize on the 13‑meter chaos. In a SoFi Stadium that feels like a cauldron for US tournament nerves, the match will pivot on who can hold the midfield composure and who can press the moment to swing the emotional tide.
