England fans are dismayed as Three Lions lose 1-0 to Belgium

You would think that the first priority for both teams in a football match is to win. But that might not be the case when England take on Belgium at Kaliningrad Stadium in the World Cup tonight, as both sides could benefit from defeat. For the loser will face an arguably easier run (on the right side of the graphic), with Sweden or Switzerland in the quarter-finals - before Spain , Russia , Croatia or Denmark in the semi-finals. However, the winner of tonight's game in Group G (on the left side of the graphic) will play Brazil or Mexico in the quarter-finals - and then France, Argentina, Uruguay or Portugal in the semis. Ahead of tonight's match at 7pm UK time in Kaliningrad (where fans are pictured, left and bottom right), Belgium and England sit exactly level on six points, a goal difference of six and eight goals scored. And fans are dubious about the potential quality of tonight's match.
