Despite boasting plenty of talented attackers, including Lamine Yamal, Spain’s defense is grabbing the headlines ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter-final against Belgium in Los Angeles – and you can stream the match live around the world for free.
La Roja kept their sixth consecutive clean sheet in their 1-0 victory over Portugal in the round of 16, setting a new World Cup record. Luis de la Fuente’s side are yet to concede a goal in this summer’s tournament, although they may be asking more from teenage superstar Yamal, who has scored just once. It is the first time Spain have reached the quarter-finals since winning the trophy in 2010 and they will believe they can emulate that vintage by following the Euro 2024 title with World Cup glory. Mikel Merino is again on the bench despite scoring the winner against Portugal, while Nico Williams is also among the substitutes as he recovers from a groin problem.
Belgium certainly had an eventful knockout stage, producing an incredible comeback to beat Senegal 3-2 before beating co-hosts USA 4-1 in a round of 16 match that was overshadowed by FIFA’s decision to suspend USMNT striker Folarin Balogun’s red card. Manager Rudi Garcia would have been delighted to see Charles De Ketelaere finally take off this summer and the striker retains his starting place, but the big news is the return to the XI of Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku. Midfielder Amadou Onana is out after injuring his anterior cruciate ligament against the United States.
