Belgium may no longer boast the star-studded lineup it once had, but they remain the clear favorites to top Group G at the 2026 World Cup.
Rudi Garcia's Red Devils kick things off against Egypt in Seattle on Monday, arguably the most challenging fixture they'll encounter in this stage of the tournament. The same holds equally true for Egypt.
Egypt has historically struggled at World Cups, still without a single victory and having lost all three matches during the 2018 group stage. For national icon Mohamed Salah, who turns 34 on matchday against Belgium, this summer will almost certainly represent his final opportunity on the world's biggest stage.

What's Next for Belgium, Egypt?

With fixtures against Iran and New Zealand still to come, both sides will be hoping the path forward becomes smoother once this opening game is behind them.
Even a loss here, which is the more probable outcome for Egypt, won't necessarily derail their knockout stage hopes — particularly if they can collect at least four points against an Iran side dealing with significant logistical and travel difficulties, and New Zealand, the lowest-ranked team in this World Cup.
Provided this match doesn't trigger a damaging run of form, both teams should ultimately be fine regardless of the result.
