Likewise, the All Whites can reach the knockout stages of a World Cup for the first time in their history with a win over the Red Devils at BC Place.<\/p>\n Rudi Garcia takes Belgium to Vancouver on the back of two disappointing draws against Egypt and Iran, though the latter game ended with it playing the final half an hour with only 10 men. Nonetheless, the ninth-ranked team in world soccer has looked devoid of inspiration and boasts a single goal in two games thus far.<\/p>\n New Zealand sits dead last on just a point but knows victory over Belgium in their debut matchup should be enough to advance as one of the best third-place finishers at least. These two teams have never met before, and there couldn\u2019t be much more at stake for their maiden matchup.<\/p>\n Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has returned to the States after flying back to London to witness the birth of his child, though he may have to settle for a spot on Garcia\u2019s bench. Nathan Ngoy will be suspended after his red card against Iran, while fellow defender Zeno Debast is the only concern through injury.<\/p>\n
