Belgium and Iran might not have willingly accepted draws in their first matches at World Cup 2026 but the state of Group G after 90 minutes suggests they can both be satisfied with their situations ahead of Belgium vs Iran on Sunday.
Belgium drew with Egypt in their first match and had to equalise in the second half in order to do so. Iran, whose preparation couldn't have been much more compromised if they'd set up camp on Mars, twice equalised against New Zealand.
With two games to play, Belgium will expect wins and Iran, with a point on the board, will take their chances.

Belgium might be on the wrong side of their so-called golden generation but the Red Devils continue to flatter to deceive on the biggest stage.
Drawing with Egypt is a solid enough start but the performance of Rudi Garcia's team was frustratingly toothless for long stretches of the opening game.

Belgium vs Iran: World Cup 2026 Preview
Belgium boast a squad brimming with experience. Four players have more than 100 senior caps and were key players in their run to the semi-finals of the World Cup in Russia eight years ago.
The question of their direction of travel is up for debate. Belgium went out in the group stage in 2022 and were fairly timid against Egypt in Seattle this time round.
That 33-year-old Romelu Lukaku's sheer physical presence was the major catalyst for the own goal that drew them level at Lumen Field might just tell us everything we need to know.
Iran's entire World Cup demands perspective. Their preparations have been disrupted at every turn and their flying in and out of the United States for all three of their games is a clear admission that they're not welcome.
To equalise twice in that situation takes some doing, even against lower-ranked opposition in the shape of New Zealand. Whether they can do the same against a team of Belgium's ability is a different story.
The Red Devils might have been a little off-colour in their first game but an Iranian win here would be the shock of the tournament so far.
