About this episode
The episode discusses the teams in Group D of the 2026 World Cup and analyzes their strengths and weaknesses.
Belgium, Egypt, Iran and New Zealand fill out Group D at the 2026 World Cup. This is probably the easiest group to make out of this World Cup. Belgium are running off inexperienced younger players and aging golden generation, but they are still a dangerous side. Iran and Egypt have a few standouts (in our eyes) and are filled mostly with domestic talent, but don't count them out. Both teams are capable of shining in any match. New Zealand will be looking to get a result against Egypt and Iran to keep hopes alive, but it's going to be a struggle.
