Belgium advanced to the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals but lost midfielder Amadou Onana to a devastating ACL tear during their victory over the USA. Meanwhile, Argentina’s dramatic win against Egypt sparked emotional reactions back home.

Belgium secured their spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals with a hard-fought triumph over the United States, but the celebration was dampened by a serious injury to one of their key players. Midfielder Amadou Onana, a standout performer for both club and country, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during the match, ruling him out for the remainder of the tournament. The blow is a significant setback for the club, who will now have to navigate the knockout stages without his physical presence and leadership in midfield.

Elsewhere, Argentina’s narrow victory over Egypt in their own Round of 16 clash was met with jubilant scenes across the South American nation. Local radio broadcasts captured the raw emotion of fans as the winning goal was scored, highlighting the passion and intensity that the World Cup continues to inspire worldwide. The tournament has already delivered its share of drama, with underdog stories, last-minute heroics, and heartbreaking exits keeping supporters on the edge of their seats.

As the competition enters its decisive stages, teams will need to balance the elation of progression with the practical challenges of injuries and fatigue. For Belgium, the absence of Onana will test their depth and resilience, while the team’s momentum could carry them further into the tournament.
