Quiet against Spain
De Cuyper registered one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 2-1 defeat to Spain.
Analysis: De Cuyper would start at left-back for Belgium on Friday and struggled to do much in his 61 minutes of work, notching a shot, a cross and two clearances. This was his fifth straight start for the team after a bench role in their opener, their primary starter at left-back. He would end his World Cup with a mixed performance, recording six tackles, six interceptions, eight clearances and 12 crosses.
Shows well in USA fixture
De Cuyper registered three crosses (two accurate), three tackles (zero won) and two corners and created two scoring chances in Monday's 4-1 victory versus USA.
Analysis: De Cuyper had a good showing, like most Belgian players, in the romp and padded his stat through a few accurate set pieces, but he wasn't directly involved in any of the goals. He has uncorked multiple crosses in four straight fixtures, accumulating 11 (three accurate) and posting also four corners, five tackles (one won) and four interceptions over that span. Additionally, this marked his fifth consecutive outing with one clearance, for a total of five, and he has contributed to one clean sheet in the competition. Instead, he snapped a three-game streak with at least two shots in this one.
