Netherlands v Belgium Live coverage from the Stade de France, St Denis , of the Group Eclash between these European neighbours (kick-off 8pm). Both sides qualified from the same group, with Holland finishing top and Belgium taking a play-off detour via the Republic of Ireland.
Key Dutchman
Dennis Bergkamp , who scored seven times in six qualifying outings, is backed by an impressive supporting cast. They include his Arsenal team-mate Marc
Overmars and at the back,
Arthur Numan , recently signed by Rangers forL5 million and Jaap Stam , whose £10.5 million move to Manchester
United from PSV Eindhoven has made him the world's most expensive defender.
Although short on star players,
Belgium are playing in theirfifth successive finals and boast an efficient outfit, spearheaded by Fiorentina's Brazilian-born striker Luis Oliveira. Others to watch are his experienced goalscoring partner Luc Nilis , and Marc Wilmots.
Plus highlights of the Group D tie between Spain and Nigeria, and the Group E match between Mexico and South Korea.
