Poland's qualification makes this a sitter, I think: Poland v Austria. Hungary v Switzerland and Slovenia v Serbia may also be rather grim but at least there's a team in each pairing that you definitely want to lose, whereas Poland v Austria is perhaps more about not wanting either to sneak into the last 16 (with apologies to non-neutrals like Ursus) so the best outcome would be 0-0.

England - Slovenia will almost certainly be one where Gareth rests the first XI (assuming they've got 4 points out of Serbia and Denmark), and will probably end 0-0 if that's similarly the only result the Slovenes need at that point. 24-team tournaments with 16 going through are demonstrably shit in the group phases.

I'm not holding out much hope that Turkey vs Georgia will be a fiesta of glittering football. But it's Turkey; you never know what you'll get.
Switzerland vs Hungary could be one of those games you are happy you have watched, but I don't expect it. Although I want Hungary to be destroyed so bad that their racist fans will all cry in unison. With only black players, plus a McTominay hat-trick, scoring the combined 17 goals against them. (You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.)

Oh like you don't do that about Archie Gemill's consolation goal in 1978 after you'd failed to beat fucking Iran, or Alex Ferguson failing to tell a team in 1986 to just try to play some football for 84 minutes against 10-man Uruguay because he didn't realise you needed 2 points not 1.

Gemmil's goal was different class as well, far better than the Barnes one in the Maracana that induces orgasms in 60 odd year old commentators.
