WHAT NEXT?

ENGLAND face Belgium on Thursday in Kaliningrad where a win would guarantee top spot in Group G.

A draw might be enough as well but the big question is, do they really want to nish top IF England win the group they will play the Group H runners-up in the last-16 next Monday, which will be either Japan, Senegal or Colombia.

But if they win that game it might lead to a quarter- nal clash a week on Friday with either Brazil or Germany. IF England nish as runners-up and win their last-16 clash, Mexico or Switzerland might be among those waiting in the quarter- nals a week on Saturday. THURSDAY’S Group G games complete the group stage, meaning England will know exactly what their route is BEFORE they play Belgium.
