The fact that both teams will be incentivized to score own goals and accumulate cards to ruin their FIFA Fair Play numbers is awesome.

We're going to see two teams parking the bus all game long...Mourinho vs Mourinho!

England and Belgium will also have the benefit of knowing who won the earlier Group H games. If Japan wins Group H, both teams would be smart to try to emphatically try to lose. Because Japan in Round of 16 and Switzerland and Sweden in Round of 8 would be the easiest path to a semifinal probably ever.
For our sake as viewers, I hope Colombia ends up winning H... Might be enough to make them push for a win. If Colombia finishes 2nd, this will be an atrocious game.

Just hope Kane starts and gets a brace

Been my favorite part of this group so far, even with the best dynamic duo in hazard and lukaku. "He's one of our own"

This is great for the reserve players for both teams. Aside from the reserve goalies, this is the perfect situation to finish with every player for England and Belgium having been on the field during the World Cup.

If I was managing either side I wouldn't take any injury risks but I'd still want to win.
Why?

I think the gamesmanship does more harm than good. I like the Bill Belicheck mentality more than the Tony Dungy mentality. Line up, try to win, let the chips fall where they may.

If either team does coast, here's to hoping they lose in knockout stage.

Subs galore. Weak mofos... Hope Colombia/Japan find a way to beat both!

Subs were guaranteed. I don't mind that. I'm just hoping that we don't have a repeat of France-Denmark. Hopefully the subs will be hungry.

Pickford almost put England ahead there by fumbling the ball in front of goal. Unfortunately the player on the line didn't get the Team notes and cleared it off the line.

He tried. God bless him, he tried. The ref didn't oblige.

In this group it might be better to finish 2nd. 1st would likely face Brazil in quarters while 2nd would face Sweden/Swiss.

I feel sorry for the announcers, they are trying hard to make a slow slog mean something.

Belgium now at -3 on cards. They just need to not score. England desperately needs to let them.

Belgium with another yellow. Dominating the fair play tiebreaker.

Belgium just took a corner with 4 players. I'm shocked they don't take it short with 10 guys in the corner

So basically nobody is trying to win. No suprise there.

Belgium is sort of trying. England has made it clear. The ball is kryptonite.

Here's the solution for England. The 3rd string GK on the bench needs to come on the field uninvited and call the ref something nasty. Straight red and -5 fair play points. Problem solved

Assuming it stays 0-0 then kick it on your own goal with 30 seconds left of stoppage.
