Uruguay
Portugal
France
Argentina
Brazil
Mexico

The coaches and players of course deny that they would deliberately want to loose, or perhaps get extra yellow cards. Guess we just have to wait and see what will happen ....
Belgian coach didn't yet want to tell who would be playing, the only certainty is Courtois he said.

Similar discussion in England. Southgate's saying he's not looking beyond the Belgium game. He must be, though. But how do two teams conspire to lose against one another without bringing the tournament into disrepute?
