Spain is determined to book its place in the World Cup semifinal for the first time in 16 years when facing Belgium at SoFi Stadium on Friday.
Since winning its first world title in 2010, Spain had failed to make it beyond the round of 16 at any subsequent tournament until this summer, but Luis de la Fuente’s European champions are an entirely different proposition. Long tipped as one of the competition favorites, they have come through their five matches in North America unbeaten and having yet to concede.
