Are we finally going to see a side win a game in Group G?
Belgium's goalless draw with Iran earlier on Sunday made it three draws out of three so far after the two sides shared the spoils with Egypt and New Zealand, respectively, in the opening round of fixtures.
That has opened up a golden opportunity for one of these sides to take advantage when they meet at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada at 6pm local time (2am UK time).

Unlike the BBC, ITV can actually be bothered to put pundits on the games they have actively selected to air in the middle of the night.
That means we will get a full presentation from ITV, rather than just throwing to the commentators in the ground ten minutes before kick-off as if that is in any way adequate for the most important tournament in all of world sport.
The lead presenter in the studio will be Los Angeles native Semra Hunter, who will be particularly familiar to followers of Spanish football.
The former Real Madrid TV presenter has hosted coverage of all the biggest competitions in the game and has a particular specialism in Spanish and Turkish football.
The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week.
Joining Hunter as pundits are Ange Postecoglou and Jobi McAnuff.
Former Tottenham and Celtic boss Postecoglou led Australia to the 2014 World Cup, as well as winning trophies in his native Australia, Japan, Scotland, and most recently, the 2025 Europa League with Spurs.
McAnuff had a somewhat itinerant playing career, largely in the Championship, most notably helping Reading to promotion into the Premier League in 2012, as well as featuring in the Leyton Orient Side that climbed out of the National League in 2019. He also earned 32 caps for Jamaica.
ITV's main man Sam Matterface is the lead commentator at the stadium.
Joining him in the gantry is his seemingly constant companion, Lee Dixon.
The former Arsenal and England right-back has been a familiar if somewhat miserabilist presence on our screens since hanging up his boots in 2002.
