Actually, this situation has already been discussed. There's nothing wrong with two players agreeing to a draw without playing; it's their right. If a draw suits the players based on their tournament standings, why should they play, wasting energy, time, and risking their tournament position? To avoid problems with qualifying from the group due to someone playing to a draw, you need to win yourself. IMHO.

Exactly, this has been discussed many times, but no conclusion has been reached that players should play their games as late as possible, because otherwise they might end up in a silly situation where opponents realize that it's beneficial for them to cooperate, as has happened many times (which, obviously, is very sporting, glory to Denmark and Sweden at Euro 2004).
