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 :SUI 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.

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.
