United States scouting

Biggest strength

Front foot pressing and Pulisic's free role between the lines.

Biggest weakness

Center-back depth — one injury away from a scramble.

Belgium scouting

Biggest strength

Direct attack via Doku and Lukaku — punished New Zealand 5-1 to top Group G.

Biggest weakness

Defensive line cohesion when stretched.
