World Cup: The knockout round schedule is now complete, U.S. will face Belgium

After two weeks of group play, the World Cup has halved its field and will head to the knockout round: The stage where every match is win or go home. Games that are tied after 90 minutes are extended by two 15-minute periods with a short break in between. There is no sudden death.

If the match is tied after regulation and OT, it is decided by a best-of-five penalty kick shootout.

The United States earned entry to the knockout round with a win over Ghana and a draw against Portugal in Group G. This is the second straight World Cup the Americans have reached the knockout stage and fifth time overall. Success in the round of 16 for the U.S. has been rare, however, with a 2002 win over Mexico counting as the country's only knockout triumph.
