Xhaka is a big miss for the Swiss but I wouldn't write them off after they've just knocked out the favourites.
Italy to beat Belgium, the other Hazard is better for them so eden missing isn't too big, they go a lot more defensive without KDB so it'll be a close game. Anything can happen with one of the most inform strikers in Lukaku.
Danes and the Czech look very even, should be a great game, too close to call.
England should beat Ukraine, not having any of this they'll be tired nonsense after Croatia in the WC, even with a slightly rotated squad we should be controlling the game and score a couple.

yes, based on stats.

Not sure why VAR didn't overrule the goal when it wasn't a corner to start with. How is that different to overturning a goal for offside or a preceding foul?

I'd imagine it's because it's a different phase of play. If there's a foul or the player is offside the play continues, whereas everyone stops and gets into position for a corner. It's the wrong decision but I guess everyone accepts that once it's given you still have to defend it and if they score it's because you didn't defend that corner well.
