MOTD Live: FIFA World Cup 2026
Group G Winner v Group A/E/H/I/J Third-Place
Group G winner v Group A/E/H/I/J third-placed team (Kick-off 9.00pm). Coverage of the round-of-32 match at Seattle Stadium in the USA. Belgium were the pre-tournament favourites to finish top of Group G, but drew their opening two contests with Egypt and Iran, and the Egyptians sat top of the table after everyone had played twice thanks to a victory over New Zealand. With no one side from the pool standing out as serious tournament contenders so far, whoever the top team faces may feel they have a realistic chance of progressing despite their third-place group finish
