🎥 World Cup highlights: Belgium's statement win! Late drama for Iran

Could there really be something to the eternal dark horse known as Belgium after all? We wouldn’t go quite that far, but one thing is clear: the Belgians claimed an emphatic statement win early this morning and finish their group in first place.

>They steamrolled New Zealand 5–1. Leandro Trossard shone with a brace, Kevin De Bruyne also got on the scoresheet, and Romelu Lukaku needed only a few moments after coming on to immediately show off his striker’s instincts.

>After a draw against Iran, Egypt have reached a World Cup knockout round for the very first time ever. A director probably couldn’t have scripted the drama in the closing stages any better. But see for yourself:

>In any case, we’re very excited to see how Belgium fare now from the round of 32 onward, whether Egypt might make even more history, and whether Iran, as the third-placed team in the group, might perhaps still qualify as well.
