Belgium players say they will need ‘balls’ to nullify home crowd against US
Belgium will play the United States in the round of 16 on Monday. The match is in Seattle, where a huge, loud crowd of 80,000 American fans is expected to support the home team. However, the Belgium players say they are not afraid of the noisy stadium. Belgium defender Maxim De Cuyper said his team needs to show courage and play their own style of football. He explained that whether the 80,000 fans are supporting you or against you, players must do the same things on the pitch. The Belgium team is ready to fight hard to win the game. They want to block out the noise, focus on their play, and show they have the strength to beat the hosts.
