Two teams seeking their first victory at the 2026 FIFA World Cup meet in Los Angeles as Belgium take on 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 they finished strongly. Romelu Lukaku forced the equalizer just 22 seconds after coming off the bench, leaving manager Rudi Garcia with a selection dilemma. Belgium’s top scorer has played just 69 minutes for Napoli this season due to injury and has not scored a goal in his last eight World Cup appearances, but showed against Egypt that he continues to strike fear into defenses.
Iran return to Los Angeles after drawing 2-2 with New Zealand in their Group G opener, twice coming from behind thanks to Ramin Rezaeian and Mohammad Mohebbi. Returning to their Mexican training base after this match, they face arguably their toughest group match in what appears to be an increasingly open section. The expanded format means more knockout places are up for grabs than ever before, so this appears to be Iran’s best chance of progressing beyond the group stage for the first time.
