        Makes no sense to risk Kane getting an injury in this game.
        I agree with your last prediction.

        I think in the end both sides will play their B-teams and it will be a lacklustre game.
        Injury risks are valid but you want to keep your in-form players sharp and of course he's surely desperate to play and get another goal. I'd assume he'd play part of the game. He's the captain and talisman too obviously, fans will want to see him.

          Probably. But then by that standard "Not Trying" should also lead to disqualification.

          It's interesting though, how can you incentivise a game in which the outcome does not really matter?

          No, but he might do 45 minutes to see if he can add to his total. Can't see him playing the full 90 though.

          It will certainly be a novelty to watch a final England World Cup group game and not have to be concerned about the result.

          Hopefully, it will be an entertaining, relaxed affair with a few good spells and a couple of goals.

            Did that at the last World Cup when their last group game was a dead rubber as they were already out.
            Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

                The Belgians are losing (winning) this game better. And they've cleverly gained another yellow card.
                I mean Belgian possession is about 30%

                  So far, so dull. Assume both teams are hedging and looking for a decisive fail in the dying minutes.

                    They've just got another yellow. Which is good for them. FFS did Gareth not brief his players?

                      They’re pretty thick, and he didn’t bring pictures.
