Pulisic is the difference between a USA side that can win this tournament and one that exits in the Round of 16. His creativity, directness, and ability to win matches on his own make every USA market dependent on his fitness status. He has been managing a calf issue throughout the tournament — check the lineup confirmation before acting on any USA attacking markets. When Pulisic is fit and starting, the USA are a genuinely dangerous team against anyone in this draw.

Tillman’s 82nd-minute free kick against Bosnia was the goal that sent the USMNT into the Round of 16 — a world-class strike from 25 yards that gave the goalkeeper no chance. He has been one of the tournament’s most efficient contributors: goal involvements per minute, pressing actions, and technical quality in tight spaces all rank among the best in the draw. Against Belgium’s experienced midfield, Tillman’s ability to operate in half-spaces and create from deep will be critical to opening up space for Pulisic and the forwards.

Balogun scored 3 goals in his first three tournament starts before being sent off in the 64th minute against Bosnia. His availability for the Belgium game depends on the red card ruling — check his suspension status before acting on any USA striker markets. If he plays, he has been the most clinical finisher on the roster and is USA’s best goal threat in open play. If he is suspended, the burden falls entirely on Pulisic and the midfield runners.
