And the loser of England v. Belgium get the easy route.

They can (not) play for the 0-0. Belgium just needs to make sure they don't score. That's why I think this game has everything to be boring.

If this match had been the 1st, it would probably be more exciting. Let's see how they play. If for the win or for the strategy.
 
We could also end up with a situation where both teams are trying to get yellows too as that's the current tie breaker, I hope this does not descend into a complete and utter farce.

England should just try to win, we hardly ever win knockout games anyway regardless of how "easy" the opponent may be and Colombia are just the sort of team I'd back us to lose to, whereas we might not lose to Japan. ;)
 
It actually might be a good game. Neither team cares if they lose and the fringe players will want to impress. 5-4 scoreline maybe?
 
Belgium are playing for fouls to guarantee second if it's a draw

Just wait until they need some yellows at the end of the match.

Can give someone the elbow.

Ooooooooooooooh yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaah!
 
Either these players suck compared to the ones who played the other 2 games or they don't really want to win. Boring as AF.
 
0-0, fans booing which isn't surprising, a useful run out for those who didn't play prior to this game but nothing more.

Some do, some don't. I'd say on average it applies to Belgium more than England, both because the players they have left out are better than the ones England left out and because the ones coming in are not as quite as good England's replacements also, at least on paper anyway.

It is a boring game too but there has been worse. Hopefully it improves but it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't.
