Re: SİMPLE PRESENT TENSE AS FUTURE MEAING
The present progressive is used to refer to actions determined in advance that are of a very definite nature, typically by arrangement with another party, while the present simple is reserved for scheduled events.
Thus, in the first example, 'does the match start?' is appropriate. As regards the second, "I'm walking" or alternatively "I'm going to walk" would be appropriate.
