BBC and ITV Sport bosses to meet at 2am tomorrow over drinks and sandwiches to decide who shows which R32 matches. Final fixture list not known until 1am and first match is tomorrow evening. BBC has first pick then ITV for R16. I'd imagine they'll go for England. Tomorrow's TV schedules can't be finalised until they've met.

Curacao V Argentina if they top their group later.

Edited Saturday at 09:104 days by CRAZY CHRIS

So far every team that was expected to top their group has done so. Let's hope Colombia or Ghana can pull off a shock later...

For Scotland to go through, they need all three of these things to happen

1. Ghana to beat Croatia by three or more goals

2. DR Congo not to beat Uzbekistan

3. Austria to beat Algeria by two or more goals OR Algeria to beat Austria by four or more goals

No chance at all then.

Another interesting point - these new-style group stages have been very favourable to the African sides, with seven of them already through and the potential for two more to join them tonight. Certainly more than the 5 teams that they would have got if we'd started with 32!

I'd say the biggest tie in the R32 is Brazil v Japan. No real blockbuster ties between former winners.

Only teams to get full 9 points so far is Mexico and France though Argentina could do it tonight. England can't. They have never got 9 points in the group in any WC. According to ITV Sport anyway. I thought we had...

Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo has asked for "privacy and space" following the loss of his unborn son.

His partner, model Noa van der Bij, announced the news on Saturday. The couple were expecting a second child together, with the baby due in October.

Van der Bij posted a picture on social media of the pair holding hands over a blanket and knitted hat.
