In terms of the 3rd place sides, there's now a reasonable chance that groups A, C, D and E will have their 3rd place sides finishing on at least 4 points. Whereas in group B, the most likely total will be 3 points (Finland would have to get something vs Belgium for there to be any chance of something greater than a 3 point finish). A win for Switzerland against Turkey would achieve it in group A. A draw between Ukraine and Austria would achieve it in group C. A winner between Scotland and Croatia would achieve it in group D. A lack of a dominant side on group E (which will continue to be the case regardless of tomorrow's result), whilst still seeing a majority of victories, means that the sharing of points is giving a great chance of at least three sides achieving at least 4 points. Not certain, but a reasonable chance. What that means therefore is that there is huge pressure on Portugal v Germany tomorrow. If there's a loser in that match, they may fail to reach 4 points (certainly in the case of Germany losing). And because of the above, 3 points might not be sufficient.
He played advantage. If Kante had scored it would have been a great call. Can't have two bites of the cherry.
