VANCOUVER - Vancouver is hosting its fifth and final World Cup group-stage match tonight, with New Zealand facing Belgium.

Fans of both sides are hoping their tournament hopes remain alive, with a win for Belgium certain to see them advance to the knockout rounds, and New Zealand likely to do so if they win instead.
