Welcome to the total Soccer Show.

It's our review of Group G at the 2026 World Cup.

Yes, listener, that's the very same Group G that contains Belgium, Egypt, Iran and New Zealand.

We're going to get into it.

My name's Ryan Bailey, joining me to tell you everything you need to know about these teams.

First up, Taylor Rockall. Hello, Taylor. How are you?

Salam-a-a-a-a-a-com. I think this is just how you say it in Arabic. I'm not sure if there's a better way to say it in Egyptian, but hello, Ryan Bailey. Lovely to be here. Lovely to chat with you. Likewise. Thank you very much. We are in the thick of World Cup previewing here to talk about Belgium. Joe Lowry. Hi Joe.

What a lot.

Yep. Good. That's very good. That's very good.

That's how they speak Belgian. Yes, it is.

Traditional Belgian greeting in one of those Belgian languages. Excellent.

Thank you very much, Joe. Graham Ruffins's here in a Kiwis, New Zealand rugby shirt, presumably. Not a rugby shirt, this is a football shirt, Ryan. It's nice. Well, yeah, basically the same, especially when I got the old black one. It's nice, right? It's got a pattern through it. It kind of looks like a velvet curtain. It does.

I assume you've got Tim Payne's name on the back, Graham? Yes, I do, yes. I've got the Holman away with his name on the back, yeah. Got it. I thought you'd even have Brett or Germain on the back, or Murray, maybe. That's what should have done.

I've actually got Neil Finn on the back.

Lead singer, a crowded house, everyone thinks they're an Australian band,

but their lead singers actually... maybe? That's what should have done. I've actually got Neil Finn on the back.

Lead singer, a crowded house, everyone thinks they're an Australian band,

but they're lead singers actually from New Zealand.

And the part-time singer of Fleetwood Mac.

Fun fact for you there.

That's what I was thinking about as well.

Music nerds.
