South Korea and Belgium will play one another on Thursday as the World Cup 2014 group stages draws to a close.
South Korea are already on the brink of elimination, but a win here today against Belgium, coupled with the right result in the match between Algeria and Russia could still see them progress to the knock out stages.
Belgium meanwhile have already qualified for the Last 16. They have been far from impressive in their opening two games, but have managed to get maximum points from both game, meaning they have guaranteed their spot in the knock out stages of World Cup 2014 with a game to spare.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 4 p.m. EST and will be broadcast live on ESPN. The game can also be watched online through live stream – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.
Belgium are likely to rest any of their players currently on a yellow card today, so as not to risk them picking up another booking, which would see them suspended for the Last 16 tie.
They also might decide to rest a number of their key players and not risk them getting injured before the knock out stages begin. However, they will still be going out today to get some kind of result. They will want to finish top of Group H and so need at least a point to guarantee them the first spot in the group. That would potentially give them an easier route through the knock out stages of the competition.
