The stakes
Full time: Egypt 3-1 New Zealand — a Group G result now baked into the table.
The two sides
EgyptMo Salah carrying a whole nation
Salah at 34, freshly a free agent, 100 million hopes on his shoulders, setting up goals on his birthday — generosity and brilliance and "so close" in one talisman worth riding for the drama.
New ZealandRank outsiders living the dream
Ranked outside the world's top 100, living in rugby's shadow, and yet they LED Iran 2-0 thanks to a kid nobody had heard of. The All Whites are the World Cup's purest underdog story.
