2026 World Cup Group G: Belgium leapfrogs Egypt for group win while Iran experiences VAR heartbreak
Here's how everything shook out in Group G of the World Cup.
No one can say the final matches of Group G at the 2026 World Cup.In the span of 30 minutes, Belgium, Egypt and Iran jostled for position in Vancouver and Seattle. The night began with Egypt leading the group.
Then Belgium took the lead. Then Egypt took it back. Then Belgium again.
The Belgians, previously one of the tournament’s most disappointing teams after two draws, finally won the group on a goal by their all-time leading goal scorer, Romelu Lukaku.That wasn’t the end of the drama, though. Iran appeared to break a 1-1 tie in stoppage time, which would have moved them into second place and guaranteed advancement to the knockout rounds.
Then VAR entered the chat and ruled Iran was offside, sending Iran to third-place purgatory.After VAR review, Iran is called offside and the goal is disallowed pic.twitter.
