Don't see why people here think these teams would want to fix a result? Even with 4 points they are not certain to qualify + the 3rd here could play France/Germany so what does it matter? Both teams are probably happy to just make the round of 16.

In case of a draw they already have superior goal difference to who finished 3rd in Group A so that's one down. And if Belgium beats Finland later tonight no team from Group B will finish third there on 4 points so that's two down and guaranteed qualification.

Yes, I know but that game is played later. It's unlikely that Finland will get that result but they can't just assume that, much less in a sport like this where you're always one red card or one bad defense away from losing to minnow.

Pays-Bas 3-0 up.

Ukraine lucked out to be in a group with Mace, otherwise their streak of consecutive loses could still be going into 2024.

[Federer91 3,024]

2 groups done and no shady fixes so far  Let's hope this continues for the rest as well.

Well, that needs to be a whole lot better in the next match. Good thing this was against 'only' North-Macedonia, otherwise it'd be done.

Very poor game from Ukraine. Now they have to cheer for Belgium and Russia (sic!) later tonight and then probably for Spain to beat Slovakia by 2 goals and Poland not beating Sweden to qualify.

 

If Belgium beats Finland that qualifies Switzerland 100%. Also, Finland would qualify 100% if they at least get a draw vs Belgium (due to superior goal difference over Switzerland).

 

I wonder if Belgium fields a B-team vs Finland? Only T. Hazard is on a yellow card and I read he won't play anyway due to a minor knee injury.
