Belgium v Egypt (Kick-off 8.00pm). Group G gets under way with this fixture at Seattle Stadium in the USA, between two sides who will expect to progress to the knockout stages of the expanded competition. Iran and New Zealand are the other nations in this group and, while Belgium may seem to be a little past their best, following the relative failures of their 'Golden Generation', they still possess a squad that can compare with most of the entrants. The vast majority of the Egyptian squad ply their trade in their homeland, but two notable exceptions to that can be found in their attacking threat, in Liverpool's Mo Salah, and Omar Marmoush of Manchester City. Salah made his full international debut as far back as 2011, and scored twice at the 2018 World Cup and, despite his form and fortunes waning for his club this season, he still remains the dangerman as far as the Belgian defence is concerned. Mark Chapman presents, with analysis from Micah Richards, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud
