The World Cup journey continues tonight for 2023 SAI Academy graduate Alex Freeman and the United States Men’s National Team.

The USA take on Belgium in the Round of 16 at 8:00 p.m. EST in Seattle, with the match airing live on FOX.

For American soccer fans, this matchup holds a little extra motivation, not that anyone in the stars and stripes will need it. The game is a rematch of the unforgettable 2014 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 clash, when Belgium defeated the United States 2-1 in extra time despite a heroic performance from U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard, who set a World Cup record with 16 saves.

Now, 12 years later, Freeman and the Americans have a chance to exorcise their demons on the biggest stage in the world.

The 2023 SAI Academy graduate has already been part of a historic run for the United States, helping the team win Group D and advance through the Round of 32. From SAI Academy to the World Cup knockout rounds, Freeman’s journey continues to inspire the entire SAI community.

Tonight, the stakes get even bigger. With a win, the United States would move into the World Cup quarterfinals and take another major step toward history.

From everyone at SAI Academy, good luck to Alex and the USMNT. An entire nation has your back.
