New Zealand meet Egypt in a group stage Group G tie at BC Place in Vancouver. New Zealand return to the World Cup as Oceania's representatives, qualifying directly thanks to the expanded format. The All Whites famously went unbeaten in the 2010 group stage. Captain and striker Chris Wood provides their main attacking threat.
Egypt arrive with their own ambitions. Egypt return to the World Cup with superstar Mohamed Salah leading the line. Record seven-time African champions, the Pharaohs dominated their qualifying group. Salah's presence makes them dangerous, though they have never advanced beyond the group stage.
