Belgium thump ragged USA to end co-hosts' World Cup dream and set up Spain clash

Charles De Ketalaere scored twice as Belgium brought the United States' World Cup party to a shattering halt on Monday, thrashing the tournament co-hosts 4-1 to set up a quarter-final showdown with Spain. The buildup to the match was overshadowed by a row over US President Donald Trump's extraordinary intervention to earn a red-card reprieve for striker Folarin Balogun.
