Egypt v Iran
Egypt v Iran (Kick-off 4.00am). The sides conclude their Group G campaigns with this meeting at Seattle Stadium in the USA. The top two in this group will fancy their chances of further progress in the competition, with the winners playing one of the third-placed qualifiers, and the runners-up facing the second-placed team in Group D, which doesn't look the most challenging. These nations have only met twice - once in 1975 in the Iran Cup, and latterly back in 2000 in a Four Nations tournament in Tehran, that saw Egypt prevail on penalties. Both these sides are well placed to progress to the knock-out stages with Egypt leading the way with four points, while Iran are second thanks to two draws so far, although the other two teams in the group could also progress depending on results
