If Belgium and Iran both win do we face Iran?

Belgium and Iran both winning would mean we face whoever scores the least goals out of Belgium and Iran (Iran started +1)

If Belgium and Iran both win do we face Iran?

Assuming the scoreline in New Zealand's game against Belgium stays as is and Iran get the job done 2-1 over Egypt then we'd face Belgium who would be second with less goals scored, with Iran topping the group.

As things stand, we face Belgium

I have a feeling Belgium is just gonna play it out at 1-0. They don't want to top the group I think - because that means Korea/Senegal/Austria/Algeria in the next stage.

If they win, the only way we DON'T play them, is if they win, AND Iran wins AND Belgium wins by 1 goal more than Iran does.
