Extremely upsetting fact: once the group stage of a 32-team World Cup ends, we have already had three-quarters of all the games we’re going to get. 48 down; just 16 to go. It’s basically already over. Still, at least the final day should be a good one. Group H in particular. What a glorious mess it all is. And then: more England!

Manchester United points of interest

The early fixtures come with two healthy doses of what might have been. Colombia’s attack will be led by their iconic, brilliant striker Falcao, who you may remember being completely rubbish for United once upon a time. Elsewhere, Japan’s attack will be orchestrated by their stringpuller-in-chief Shinji Kagawa, who you may remember etc., and so on. Both might take their countries through to the last 16. It’s a funny old game.

Then, England vs. Belgium. It should have been the main event, but results elsewhere (and the feebleness of Tunisia and Panama) has set up a weird playoff that neither side would particularly mind losing. As such, there will be changes. United’s Romelu Lukaku will probably miss the game with a knock, but Marouane Fellaini — two! more! years! two! more! years! — might get a start in midfield.

On the English side of things, Jesse Lingard and Ashley Young may get the evening off, but Marcus Rashford could get the chance to persuade Gareth Southgate that he should be starting ahead of Raheem Sterling. Also, Phil Jones. Phil Jones. What a wonderful day it could be.
