Spain v Belgium LIVE: World Cup quarter-final team news with Red Devils to make major decision on Kevin De Bruyne

Belgium World Cup team mock Trump’s signature dance move after win over USA

Spain take on Belgium in the World Cup quarter-finals at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Luis de la Fuente’s side have looked formidable with the tightest defence of the tournament, and the European champions eliminated Portugal in the last round thanks to Mikel Merino’s stoppage-time goal.

Belgium are also in fine form, thanks to thrashing co-hosts United States in Seattle, fuelled by the motivation to respond to the Folarin Balogun controversy after President Donald Trump’s intervention.

The Red Devils shuffled the pack against the USMNT, with depth from the bench including Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Jeremy Doku, meaning Rudi Garcia has a series of big calls to make.

Spain and Belgium already know their prize for victory this evening – a semi-final tie with France.

The French booked their place in the final four – for the third tournament in a row – with a 2-0 win over Morocco.

Kylian Mbappe missed a first half penalty but redeemed himself in second period, his 60th minute goal quickly followed by Ousmane Dembele six minutes later.

On the other side of the bracket, Norway v England and Argentina v Switzerland make up the other two quarter-final ties. Of course, the Three Lions face Norway 10pm BST tomorrow evening, with Argentina v Switzerland staged in the early hours of Sunday morning.
