Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Liverpool target, Divock Origi, starts up front for Belgium in their last 16 tie against United States tonight in place of Romelu Lukaku.
It has been a tournament of forget for the Chelsea striker Lukaku, who spent last season on loan at Everton. The 21-year-old has not even had an attempt on target in Brazil, and was also benched for their final group game triumph over Korea Republic, although they had already qualified by then.
Origi, meanwhile, the Lille striker on the verge of a £10m move to Anfield, scored the winner in Belgium's 1-0 victory over Russia in the group stage. In doing so, at the age of 19 years, two months and four days, he became the youngest scorer at this year's World Cup.
For United States, they have made two changes from the team who lost to Germany in their final group game, including recalling Stoke City's Geoff Cameron to the side.
Belgium: Courtois, Alderweireld, Kompany (c), Vertonghen, Witsel, De Bruyne, Fellaini, Hazard, Mertens, Van Buyten, Origi
United States: Howard, Gonzalez, Bradley, Besler, Beasley, Dempsey (c), Bedoya, Jones, Zusi, Cameron, Johnson
