World Cup 2026 — Group G
World Cup 2026 Group G features Belgium's generation of talent in what could be their last major tournament together. Jeremy Doku, Loïs Openda, and Amadou Onana represent a new era of Belgian football — less celebrated than the Golden Generation, but arguably more dynamic. Egypt enter with the most watched player in Group G: Mohamed Salah, still performing at the highest level at Liverpool, paired with the in-form Omar Marmoush from Manchester City. This is a genuine two-team race at the top. Iran are compact, defensively organized, and perfectly capable of a draw against either favorite. New Zealand are the group's longest shot but will compete hard for every minute. Belgium are narrow favorites, but Egypt — powered by Salah and Marmoush — could top this group and make a statement to the rest of the tournament.
