Match Details and Broadcast

Friday, July 10 at 3 p.m. ET in Inglewood, California, will host the quarterfinal showdown between Spain and Belgium. The game will be broadcast on Fox, giving fans across the U.S. a chance to catch the action live. Sportsbook odds favor Spain significantly, listed at -380, while Belgium sits at +290, underscoring thefavorites’ status heading into the clash.

Spain’s Unbeaten Run to the Quarterfinals

The Spanish side has marched through five matches without conceding a single goal, producing nine offensive strikes along the way. Their goalkeeper, Unai Simón, has compiled five clean sheets and has not allowed a goal in a record 609 minutes of play. A crucial stoppage‑time strike from Mikel Merino knocked Portugal out of the Round of 16, ending Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup career. This marks Spain’s first appearance in the quarterfinals since their 2010 championship triumph.

Belgium’s Final Stand and Injury Fallout

Belgium’s tournament run included a decisive 4‑1 victory over the United States, eliminating one of the three co‑host nations after defensive lapses. Veterans Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois, and Romelu Lukaku are poised for a final farewell, having helped the Red Devils claim third place in 2018 with Lukaku scoring four times and Courtois earning the Golden Glove. However, midfielder Amadou Onana will miss the rest of the competition after rupturing his ACL during the win over the U.S. The injury adds a new challenge for a squad already facing the end of an era.

Implications for the Rest of the Tournament

Spain’s clean‑sheet record and strong odds suggest they remain the top contenders for the title, while Belgium’s loss of a key playmaker could shift the balance of midfield dynamism. The quarterfinal outcome will set up a new pairing for both sides, with Spain aiming for a sixth World Cup crown and Belgium looking to preserve its legacy despite the roster changes. Fans can expect a decisive performance as both nations write the next chapter of their World Cup histories.
