Belgium have been a massive disappointment so far, but things should finally improve for them here.

A lot depends on whether they bring their shooting boots, but I can see New Zealand's World Cup kind of petering out.

Manchester City winger Jeremy has returned to the United States to rejoin his Belgium team-mates after flying home to be with his wife for the birth of their first child.

Doku, 24, missed Belgium's draw with Iran. At the time his absence was described as due to an illness, but it later transpired that he returned home to be with his wife Shireen for the birth of their son Praise.

Belgium said in a statement: "With the approval of and accompanied by one of our team doctors, Jeremy travelled to London to be with his wife for this unique occasion.

"Jeremy will rejoin the squad on Tuesday evening in Seattle as preparations continue for the next match against New Zealand."

BBC 5 Live Breakfast

Asian football expert Erfan Hoseiny speaks about Egypt v Iran on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast: "I think this is by far Egypt's best ever World Cup performance, they were able to get a win for the first time in their history. They played fantastically against Belgium and against New Zealand especially. They have got a devastating attack, with the likes of Omar Marmoush, Mostafa Ziko and of course Mohamed Salah. It is going to be a very difficult game.

"People expect Egypt to rotate because they have basically guaranteed qualification to the next round and we don't know if they are going to be resting their players who are maybe on yellows, who have some minor injuries.

"It is do or die for Iran. So if you want a guaranteed qualification, Iran has to win.

"If they decide to play it like Belgium, where they did get the chances and they defended well, I think it is very possible for Iran to qualify for the knockout stages."

Iran's football team has been given extra time in the United States to prepare for their final World Cup group game, the US Department of Homeland Security says.

They were granted permission to travel into the US from their base in Tijuana, Mexico, on Wednesday, two days before they take on Egypt (Sat, 04:00 BST) in Seattle.

That is an extra day beyond the 24-hour window Iran had been granted for their first two games.

But the team will still be required to return to its base camp in Tijuana after the match.

"The overall security measures and protocol are the same," the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. "We remain committed to providing the safest tournament possible for players, staff and fans alike."

This change comes after the Iranian Football Federation said it planned to lodge an official complaint with Fifa over what it described as unfair treatment in the United States.

Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei believes his side's unbeaten start to the World Cup will be talked about for years to come given the disruption they have faced before and during the tournament.

The Iranians held 10-man Belgium to a goalless draw in their last match after starting their campaign with a draw against New Zealand.

They are second in Group G, level with Belgium on two points going into their final game of the group stage against leaders Egypt on Saturday (04:00 BST).

Their participation at the World Cup was uncertain because of the war with tournament co-hosts USA, and their preparations were hampered by opposition teams cancelling friendlies.

"I want to go back six months," he said. "We were in war conditions for six months; we didn't have our league operating.

"Many teams cancelled the games they would play against us. We came ‌to the ⁠World Cup in the worst conditions possible."

Mohamed Salah starred for Egypt in the second half of their 3-1 win against New Zealand to help the Pharaohs to their first-ever World Cup win, at their ninth attempt.

Salah's 67th-minute goal gave Egypt the lead - after they recovered from a shock early New Zealand opener - before his corner was headed home by Trezeguet to seal the historic victory.

Victory moved Egypt top of Group G and leaves them on the brink of qualifying for the last 32.

Salah knows a point against Iran in their final group game will see his country through to the next round - and they may not even need that.

"It's a great achievement for all the players," said the 34-year-old former Liverpool forward. "It's a great win. It's a great vibe. The next game is very important."

Iran are such a gutsy team. They defended so well in their draw against Belgium and they had chances too - they can be direct when they want to be.

Egypt will have too much for them, though. I am going for Mohamed Salah's men to win this game, and top the group.

More good news then from Chris Sutton...

Another simple permutation for Scotland - they need Iran to lose to Egypt to finish with a better record than the third-placed team in Group G.

On to Group G...

Egypt lead the group and will go through if they avoid defeat against Iran on Saturday (04:00 BST).

They will still go through automatically if they lose and Belgium do not beat New Zealand. At worst, they could finish third on four points - likely enough to progress.

The group winners play a third-placed team.

Iran will go through if they beat Egypt. If they draw, then a top-two finish is only possible if Belgium also draw.

The runners-up will take on second in Group D.

Belgium will progress in the top two if they beat New Zealand. They can also definitely go through in second with a draw if Egypt beat Iran.

If Belgium and Iran both win they will be tied for top spot, or for second if they draw.

As they drew with each other, placings would be determined on goal difference - which is level at zero.

If goal difference finishes up identical, positions will be determined first by goal scored then by the better disciplinary record (Belgium -7, Iran -2) and then by Fifa world ranking, which Belgium lead.

Neither team will qualify if they lose.

New Zealand must beat Belgium and hope Iran do not win against Egypt to finish in the top two, though they cannot win the group.

If New Zealand and Iran both win, New Zealand would be third on four points which will likely be enough.

Cape Verde have been brilliant so far but I don't see them making the knockout stage.

They need to win this game to get out of the group, whereas their draws against Uruguay and especially Spain came from them trying to contain the opposition.

Saudi Arabia were outplayed by Spain and have done a lot of defending so far but they should have some chances themselves in this one.

If the Cape Verde players need any further motivation, here is Chris Sutton with his prediction, which they could just pin to their team dartboard!

Cape Verde

Cape Verde's World Cup campaign will go down in history - and they are now on the cusp of going a step further.

They had already produced one of the biggest shocks of all time as they drew with Spain (who were 65 places higher in Fifa's world rankings) in their tournament debut.

The Blue Sharks showed their class again on the game's biggest stage on Sunday by holding two-time winners Uruguay, and are in serious contention for a place in the knockouts.

They were creative, entertaining and confident in their thrilling 2-2 draw, and also produced another dose of the steely determination that guided them to their shock result against Spain.

The archipelago of 10 islands in the Atlantic Ocean, with a population of just under 525,000 according to the latest figures from the World Bank, have now held their own against two World Cup stalwarts.

No heroics were needed from goalkeeper Vozinha - who rose from 40,000 Instagram followers before the game against Spain to more than 15 million - this time as they limited Uruguay to just two shots on target, but heroes were found at the other end of the pitch.

"They will be checking their phones to see how many followers they have," said former Wales defender Ashley Wiliams on BBC One.

Vozinha's mother was not able to attend the Spain match because of the high cost of obtaining a visa to enter the USA but she was present in Miami, and treated to an enthralling display.

Uruguay are now the third country Marcelo Bielsa has guided to a World Cup, and in 2023 he oversaw wins against South American giants Brazil and Argentina.

More recently they drew with Thomas Tuchel's England in a friendly at Wembley, but it has not all been plain sailing for Uruguay under Bielsa.

In September 2024, he was criticised by the country's legendary striker Luis Suarez, who said Bielsa had "divided the whole group".

At the time, Suarez urged Uruguay fans "not to take it out on the players when things go wrong" because "the players will reach a limit and they will explode" under Bielsa's working conditions.

They were also beaten 5-1 by the USA in November last year, a result that left Bielsa feeling "ashamed" and seemingly considering his position in charge of the national team.

At 70, this World Cup could well represent Bielsa's final chance to cement his legacy on the international stage, and he has already hinted that he will step down once Uruguay's campaign comes to an end.

A quiet exit from the big stage, whenever it might come, seems unlikely.

One carrot that Bielsa may find irresistible - if Uruguay finish second in the group then a last-32 tie against Argentina beckons...

Spain

Watch BBC pundits Wayne Rooney, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Thomas Frank give their analysis on Lamine Yamal's performance for Spain against Saudi Arabia...

Spain

Even if Uruguay were able to find a way to stop 10 of Spain's 11 players, stopping Lamine Yamal is a different story entirely.

He became the ninth youngest goalscorer in World Cup history (18 years, 343 days), when he scored 10 minutes into his first World Cup start against Saudi Arabia.

Lamine Yamal was eighth after the match, but was bumped down to ninth by Bosnia-Herzegovina’s 18-year-old Kerim Alajbegovic, who scored the first goal against Qatar on Wednesday.

Prior to 2026, the only teenager to score in consecutive appearances at the tournament is Brazil’s Pelé in 1958.

Uruguay have been a big disappointment and have been left needing something from this game. I don't see them getting it.

Spain need a win to make sure of winning the group, so they won't rest anyone here. They will be hard to stop.
