How France overcame Belgium at Euro 2024 thanks to Randal Kolo Muani’s deflected strike


Other than Germany and Spain, most of the big hitters have struggled to find form at Euro 2024.

Whether it’s the fault of crammed domestic seasons or the weight of expectation is difficult to say but France and Belgium, two teams expected to go far before the tournament, struggled through a game low on moments of genuine quality.

Austria and Romania, less heralded sides, topped their groups, while lowly Georgia managed to beat Portugal and even take the lead in a knockout match against Spain.

It’s good that the football hasn’t been predictable but the knockout stages could do with a genuinely great game and this sure as hell wasn’t it.
