Match Preview
New Zealand face Belgium at BC Place in Vancouver in a Group G finale that almost certainly carries qualification stakes for the Red Devils. Belgium, coached by Rudi Garcia, blend a generational core (De Bruyne, Lukaku, Doku) with younger arrivals like Jérémy Doku and Charles De Ketelaere. New Zealand, the OFC champions under Darren Bazeley, rely on Newcastle striker Chris Wood and a defensive structure they hope can frustrate a star-laden opponent. A Belgian win is heavily expected; a Kiwi point would be a historic upset.
