England and Belgium may have to decide the top spot by fair-play points

England and Belgium have two wins, eight goals and two losses. With all stats being equal, the two teams are yet to decide the top spot in Group G after two rounds.

In the final round, when the two teams meet directly, the winner will take the top spot. But if the two teams are tied, the Fair-play point will play a decisive role.

Harry Kane's England have the advantage in Fair-play points over Belgium.

FIFA calculates Fair-play points by deducting points based on the number of cards. A yellow card will deduct one point, an indirect red card (coming from two yellow cards) will deduct three points, a direct red card will deduct four points, a yellow card and a direct red card (for one player) will deduct five points.

According to the above calculation, England has a higher Fair-play score: - 2. Belgium is behind with a score of -3.

In the event of a tie on Fair Play points, FIFA may have to hold a random draw, as happened with the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland in 1990.

The top spot in Group G may not be as advantageous as the second spot, based on the situation after two matches. The top team in Group G will likely face the winner of Germany-Brazil in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, the second team in the group may only have to face the winner of Switzerland-Mexico.
