Spain head into their World Cup quarter-final against Belgium with confidence after an unbeaten run in which they have not conceded a goal. Multiple outlets report that Spain’s coach, Luis de la Fuente, describes the match as the toughest challenge so far. He points to Belgium’s experienced squad, suggesting their experience and quality will be the main factor separating them from Spain’s previous opponents. The articles also agree the game is played in Los Angeles on Friday, framing it as a significant step in Spain’s tournament campaign.

While all sources emphasise Spain’s defensive record and unbeaten status, they focus less on specific matchups or tactics and more on the coach’s assessment of Belgium’s threat level. The reporting reflects a consensus that, despite Spain’s strong start, the quarter-final against Belgium is expected to be more difficult than earlier matches, largely due to Belgium’s established tournament pedigree and player experience.
