Who are the BBC pundits, commentators and presenters for USA vs Belgium?

The USA versus Belgium evokes memories of the latter's extra-time victory in 2014 when goalkeeper Tim Howard made a World Cup record 16 saves.

That was when Belgium's golden generation was at the peak of its powers and the US were plucky underdogs but this time around, there is little to separate the two.

Ahead of the game, there has been a political storm surrounding Donald Trump's interference with FIFA to ensure that USA star striker Folarin Balogun is eligible to play following his red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the last round. With Balogun confirmed to be starting, it's the sort of game a commentator dreams to call - here's who's on duty for the BBC.

BBC commentators, pundits and presenters for USA vs Belgium

The full line-up of presenters, commentators and presenters for USA vs Belgium, being played this evening at 1am BST, has been revealed.

Due to the 1am BST kick-off time, the BBC have elected to go straight to the commentary team for this match, as opposed to having a studio presence to present and analyse the fixture.

Serving as the match’s main commentary voice is Robyn Cowen.

Alongside her is Matthew Upson, taking on the role of co-commentator.

Upson scored England's only goal in their 4-1 defeat by Germany at the 2010 World Cup. The former Arsenal, West Ham and Birmingham City defender scored one other international goal, also against Germany back in 2008.

Cowen was lead commentator on BBC One's coverage of the UEFA Women's Euro 2022, a tournament in which the Lionesses were victorious.

The winner of USA vs Belgium will have the privilege of facing Spain in the quarter-finals.

That last eight fixture is scheduled to be played at 8pm BST on Friday, July 10.
