Too. Much. Information!
So as a Dutchman you root for Belgium, but not openly?
I will root for Japan and Mexico.
@milanfahrnholz choose another team, please!
That’s going to be an interesting match. Whoever wins gets placed in the more difficult branch of knockout stages (with Brazil, Portugal and Uruguay).

I’m surprised how well they’re playing. They have good chances to make it to the next round!

Seems like an odd conclusion. 
I’m going to miss most of the match tonight but hoping to dash home for the last 15 mins or so (should be just enough to see us lose 
)(reverse jinxing)
Yes but both Belgium and England are already qualified. This match is useful to know which team will arrive first in its group.
Yep. Will be interesting to see who we end up playing.
Normally we’re really good at losing, so I’m hoping we can pull off a solid 2-0 loss.
I’d be tempted to take the goalkeeper off at half time if we’re doing too well by then.

The VAR was used in the italian Serie A since last year. It’s a valid technology to clarify uncertain scores.

Yeah, in particular I like how it has been used during this World Cup Tournament, even better than in Italy. Very good result. The particular rules are good.
I also like the fair play rule to give victory in case of a draw at points in a round.

Agree, sure better than a toss.
Zak, che intendi per toss?
toss = launch a coin into the air, and let it fall down, to decide which team wins.
