Group G is a gFrance fans NorwayCabo- not just a vacation destination anymore
On today's 15-minute briefing: The Pepe Mystery: Côte d'Ivoire secure a 2-0 win over Curaçao, lit up by a couple of absolute belters from Nicolas Pépé. Watching him strike them makes me wonder all over again: why on earth was he so poor during his time at Arsenal? Germany Stunned: Ecuador confirm their place in the Round of 32 with a thoroughly impressive 2-1 victory over Germany. This is exactly the kind of result that Scottish fans would have had a very keen eye on as the groups shake out.

It begs the question: are the Dutch quietly turning into genuine dark horses for this competition? Elanga's Math Blunder: A 1-1 draw sees both Japan and Sweden confirm their places in the next round.

They've lined up a tie against Egypt next, which promises to be a cracking game. Norway's Bizarre Rotation: Norway, with qualification already secured, decided to rotate their entire starting eleven against France and got soundly beaten 4-1. I have to ask: isn't the entire point of being at a World Cup having the opportunity to flex your best lineup against one of the greatest sides on the planet? Baffling decision. Senegal Smash Iraq: Pape Gueye hit a couple of eye-catching screamers as Senegal gave themselves every chance of a best third-place berth, dismantling Iraq 5-0. I can confirm their progress was officially locked in a few hours later following the conclusion of the Group G fixtures.

On June 21, 2026, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Iran managed to secure a scoreless 0-0 draw against Belgium, significantly undermining the Red Devils' ambitions in Group G while enhancing Team Melli's chances of achieving a historic advancement to the knockout stage.In spite of significant political tensions, stringent US visa travel restrictions, and a severely limited preparation period that allowed Iran less than 16 hours of training, Amir Ghalenoei's team demonstrated exceptional defensive resilience.Belgium controlled 68% of the possession and attempted 23 shots, yet they displayed a lack of precision and sharpness in the attacking zone.Iran had a potential first-half goal from captain Mehdi Taremi disallowed for offside. Later in the second half, Belgium's manager Rudi Garcia faced further difficulties when young defender Nathan Ngoy mishandled a backpass, resulting in a foul on Taremi and a straight red card in the 66th minute.Both teams are currently tied with two points after two matches, following Iran's 2-2 draw against New Zealand and Belgium's 1-1 stalemate with Egypt. Belgium must secure a victory against New Zealand in Vancouver on Friday, while Iran holds the key to its own fate against Egypt in Seattle.

Emam Ashour scored first in the opening half in Seattle, but Romelu Lukaku, who came off the bench after the hour mark, forced an own goal from Egypt's Mohamed Hany.With this draw, Egypt, the seven-time Africa Cup of Nations champions, continues their quest for a first World Cup victory.This marks their fourth appearance in the global tournament, and with upcoming Group G matches against Iran and New Zealand, they will aim to overcome this challenge in North America.For Belgium, this tournament represents a likely final opportunity for the remnants of their golden generation to surpass their third-place finish in Russia eight years ago and finally secure a trophy.Key veterans Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois, and Lukaku remain central figures in Rudi Garcia's squad.This was only the second occasion in their history that Egypt took the lead in a World Cup match, the first being when Salah scored in a 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in 2018.Despite the expectations of a straightforward victory for Belgium, they were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by a determined and spirited Egyptian side. What many anticipated would be an easy win for the Red Devils evolved into a tactical contest that left Belgian supporters frustrated and Egyptian fans filled with hope.Egypt stunned Belgium by taking an early lead in the first half, catching the Belgian defense off guard and igniting jubilation among their supporters.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of World Cup chat and interviews, in the second of our preview shows for the tournament. We're looking at six of the groups in this episode (Groups G to L), with special focus on Group G where two of the six matches will be at BC Place and a further two down in Seattle.

The road to North America has been paved, and the All Whites are ready to step back onto the world's biggest stage. In this episode, we dive deep into New Zealand's chances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. We break down Darren Bazeley's tactical masterplan—balancing a rigid defensive low block with lethal transitions—and explore why captain Chris Wood remains one of the most feared aerial threats in international football. With the draw placing them in a challenging Group G alongside Belgium, Egypt, and Iran, we ask: can the resilience of 2010 be repeated, or will the expanded 48-team format finally allow New Zealand to secure their first-ever World Cup victory? From Liberato Cacace's energy on the flank to Joe Bell's vision in midfield, this is the ultimate preview of New Zealand's quest for global respect.
