Mohamed Salah's last chance at World Cup success. Alongside him Hamdy, Marmoush and Trezeguet. Africa Cup runners-up 2021. In Group G with Belgium, group top is tough; second place is reachable. Finally reaching the Round of 16 is the goal.
Third World Cup appearance. The All Whites beat no one at the 2010 World Cup but lost nothing either (3 draws). In Group G with Belgium, Egypt and Iran, advancing is difficult. A single point would be a fantastic result.
