Live action from one of today's matches (kickoff 3pm) as the final placings in Group E are decided.

Group favourites Holland meet Mexico at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in St Etienne. Mexico are not short on experience, their best World Cup performances having been in 1970 and 1986, and in Claudio Suarez they have the most capped player in their team's history. But he will have to call on all his experience to combat the Dutch team's quick and skilful attack, led by Arsenal's Dennis Bergkamp, who is expected to play if he is fit enough.

Meanwhile at the Parc des Princes in Paris, Belgium face South Korea. When the two sides met in Italia 90, Belgium achieved a 2-0 victory.

Desmond Lynam introduces the action, with analysis from Alan Hansen and David Ginola, and commentary from Barry Davies with David Pleat.
