Two teams eyeing their first win at the FIFA World Cup 2026 meet in Los Angeles as Belgium face Iran in Group G on Sunday, June 21.
Belgium needed a second-half own goal to salvage a draw against Egypt in their World Cup opener but finished strongly. Romelu Lukaku forced the equaliser just 22 seconds after coming off the bench, leaving manager Rudi Garcia with a selection dilemma. Belgium’s record scorer has played only 69 minutes for Napoli this season due to injury and is without a goal in his last eight World Cup appearances, but showed against Egypt that he continues to strike fear into defences.
Iran return to LA after drawing 2-2 with New Zealand here in their Group G opener, twice coming from behind through Ramin Rezaeian and Mohammad Mohebbi. After flying back to their Mexico training base following that match, they now face arguably their toughest group fixture in what looks an increasingly open section. The expanded format means more knockout places are up for grabs than ever before, so this looks like Iran’s best chance of progressing beyond the group stage for the first time.
