USA v Belgium LIVE: Calamitous error puts hosts on brink of World Cup exit despite controversial Balogun involvement

Belgium vs USA has an extra dimension tonight, beyond it pitting one of Europe’s strongest sides against one of the World Cup co-hosts.

After US president Donald Trump called Fifa boss Gianni Infantino and managed to have Folarin Balogun’s red-card ban suspended, the USA striker is set to feature in Seattle.

And he could be crucial here, having scored three goals in three games, including in USA’s 2-0 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina in the last 32.

For all the criticism of the decision to send Balogun off in that game, there has been even greater outrage at Fifa’s move to delay his ban by a year.

That is the backdrop as Belgium aim to live up to their status as one of the most-talented outfits in the tournament – a status they have not underlined with their results so far, including in the last 32, when they needed a miraculous comeback to beat Senegal 3-2 at the death.

Follow all the action from the World Cup last-16 game below:

66’ - They have won a corner.

May it be the start of something?

No because Freeman heads high and wide.

65’ - It sounds like the atmosphere has completely fallen flat in Seattle.

Belgium have - again, so far - been masterful in terms of their execution.

63’ - Belgium remain hungry for more.

De Ketelaere lays off to Trossard and his shot is blocked out for a corner by Richards.

Pulisic is distraught on the bench.

Coach Poch looks befuddled.

62’ - USA’s only attempt on target remains the goal, which was fortunately deflected in.

They have not risen to the occasion at all.

But there is still time if they can get one back.

59’ - It’s all going wrong.

Pulisic is now off injured, replaced by Berhalter.

58’ - Freese was asleep in Seattle.

Belgium build it out from the back before a long ball causes havoc.

Freese rushes off his line to intercept and it appears a straightforward clearance.

Except, under pressure from De Ketelaere, he botches it and hesitates before kicking it off De Ketelaere and into the path of Vanaken.

The early substitute cannot believe his luck as he sneaks the ball into the empty net from about 25 yards, Ream’s bumbling attempt to block the only hurdle in his way.

GOAL!

USA 1-3 Belgium (Vanaken 57)

It’s a shambles from the hosts’ goalkeeper.

53’ - Pulisic kicks Tielemans’ heel and wants a free kick.

No chance.

“Ref you suck” chant the home fans.

Ok...

On a brighter note for the hosts, they are getting a greater hold of the game.

51’ - Ream gets across to intercept a Lukebakio cross.

Tielemans’ corner is headed away.

49’ - Richards tries to meet a loose ball about 40 yards from goal and, inexplicably, sends it out for a goal kick.
