The World Cup's final group matches take place Thursday.

The first matches of the day pit Japan against Poland at Volgograd Arena and Senegal against Colombia at Samara Arena at 5 p.m. local time (1400GMT) in Group H.

Japan and Senegal can advance with draws while Colombia need to win. The latter can draw only if already-eliminated Poland defeat Japan.

In the evening matches, Belgium square off against England at Kaliningrad Stadium at 9 p.m. local time (1800GMT).

Both teams are already qualified but look to top Group G.

Panama and Tunisia, already eliminated, play at Mordovia Arena at 9 p.m. local time (1800GMT).
