00:00one of the great things about the world cup is a lot of the matches are during the day
00:03and june 15th at 3 p.m eastern we're going to get a dose of that as belgium takes on
00:09egypt i know
00:10nothing of egypt here other than they're one of the bigger dogs going into the first round here
00:16and certainly with a total of two and a half and belgium being favored here it tells me belgium's
00:21got a great shot to win this one but why is egypt such a big dog here kyle yeah so
00:27this is a fun
00:28game mostly because you've got two aging former premier league stars playing against one another
00:33kevin de bruyne who played for years at manchester city and is one of the best players to ever play
00:38in the premier league and muhammad salah who left liverpool after his last season this year uh and
00:44is one of the best players ever to play in the premier league so they'll go up against one another
00:47uh belgium are a weird team craig they made they finished third in 2018 with a golden generation
00:55of talent they had a ton of players up and coming that was like kevin de bruyne's breakout
01:00year eight years ago um on the international stage and then they completely flopped in 2022 and and
01:06dropped out in the group stage egypt are a really well put together team kind of like japan
01:12but in kind of the opposite sense japan can really get after you on the counter egypt defend very well
01:18and then they've got a superstar in salah in the attack so you've really got strength for strength
01:23belgium attack attack attack egypt defend defend defend uh i think it'll be a really interesting
01:28kind of throwback game but i think belgium should win
