Veteran Völler: Germany vs Belgium USA 94 - Soldier Field ‘94: Post-Reunification Might vs. Belgian Elegance. 
The 1994 World Cup Round of 16 was a high-octane display of European efficiency and tactical counter-play. This match featured a Germany reflecting its post-reunification pressure—a squad of veteran icons defending their 1990 title—juxtaposed against a Belgium side defined by its "Scifo-era" elegance. The Belgian technical fluidity pushed the aging "German Machine" to its limit, only to be overcome by the clinical finishing of the Völler-Klinsmann partnership.
The match is historically defined by the unpenalized foul by Thomas Helmer on Georges Grün. With Belgium trailing 3–2, the blatant push went ignored by referee Kurt Röthlisberger, a decision so controversial it resulted in the official's dismissal from the tournament.
