Second quarter-final pits Euro 2024 winners against perennial underachievers

After one-day break during the week, the World Cup 2026 continues tonight with the second of four quarter-finals. Spain, winners for the first time 16 years ago, face another tricky test in the form of an ever-improving Belgium side. These two teams met have met twice before at a World Cup and it's one win apiece. Whoever emerges victorious this time in Los Angeles, will set up a semi-final showdown against France.

Five straight clean sheets and four consecutive wins means La Roja will start the game as favourites in their quest for another European Championships and World Cup double. But after needing a stoppage time winner from Mikel Merino to see off Portugal in the last-16, there are concerns that a lack of firepower could cost Spain at some point in the tournament.

As for Belgium, this is no longer the 'golden generation' that failed to deliver, yet there are plenty of reasons to be positive heading into tonight’s game, having turned a corner by scoring 12 goals in their last three outings.
