United States vs. Belgium preview: Americans start FIBA Women’s World Cup group play with their toughest match

The USA Basketball women’s national team begins tomorrow. Here’s what’s in store.

Gametime: 9:30 p.m. ET

Where: Sydney, Australia

How to watch: ESPN Plus

What’s in store: The Americans who weren’t playing in the WNBA Finals have been in Australia for some time. The players coming from the Finals will not have much time to get settled and this match will be their hardest on paper.

Belgium is generally regarded as the best team in the Group after America. They are led by Chicago Sky forward Emma Meesseman, whom we know very well and Sky guard Julie Allemand.
