Belgium’s Golden Generation Faces Salah’s Pharaohs in Seattle
Group G opens with a high-stakes clash as Belgium look to maintain their unbeaten streak against an Egyptian side desperate for their first-ever World Cup win.
Belgium arrive in Seattle in formidable form under Rudi Garcia, currently unbeaten in 13 matches. They sit at the top of the table with 46 points still to play for and are coming off a dominant 5-0 victory against Tunisia where five different players found the net. Having won four of their last five matches, the Red Devils are firmly in control of their title race ambitions.
Egypt enter the tournament as the second-placed side in the group, having cruised through CAF qualifying without a single defeat in 10 matches. While they suffered a narrow 2-1 loss to Brazil in their most recent outing, they previously held Spain to a 0-0 draw and defeated Russia 1-0. The Pharaohs are aiming to move past their 2025 AFCON semi-final exit and finally secure a victory on the world's biggest stage.
