Two all-time Premier League greats clash as Belgium take on Egypt in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah turn 35 and 34 respectively during the tournament (today is the latter’s birthday), but both remain key to their countries’ chances of success in North America. Former Manchester City playmaker De Bruyne is one of several members of Belgium’s aging Golden Generation in the Red Devils’ World Cup squad, with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and striker Romelu Lukaku also in the traveling party. The challenge for coach Rudi García is how to get the best out of his experienced core and a group of younger stars, such as forwards Jeremy Doku and Charles de Ketelaere.
Liverpool legend Salah left Anfield at the end of the domestic season and this could be his last chance to shine on the world stage. The Egyptian striker has played just two World Cup matches, both in 2018 and both ending in defeats, so he will be desperate to help his country to their first victory in the tournament. And what better birthday gift for someone who is now 34 years old? That victory is more likely to come in the other Group G matches against Iran and New Zealand, but a win in Seattle would put Egypt in pole position to qualify for the round of 16.
