Copa America Final Live: Will Argentina Pull Off A Spain

Fresh from Spain’s triumph in the Euro 2024 final, we head into the Copa America final where Argentina would look to do the same. Just as the Euro final was a closely contested win, with La Roja netting the winner just minutes before the full-time whistle, the Copa America final could be a thriller too. We aren’t too far away from the action. Stay tuned…

Copa America Final Live: 30th Final For Argentina, 3rd For Colombia

Copa America Final Live: Messi, Di Maria Start For Argentina

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Copa America 2024 final. All eyes on Lionel Messi and Angel di Maria as they look to lift their final trophy in international football.

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: One Substitution For Each Team

For Argentina, Nicolas Tagliafico has been replaced by Nicolas Otamendi while Jonathan David is replaced by Tanitoluwa Oluwaseyi for Canada.

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Argentina Almost Make It 3-0

Another counter-attacking opportunity for Canada but Argentine defender Christian Romero ends the attack with a sliding tackle. Argentina then looked to break at the other end through Julian Alvarez but his shot his straight into the chest of the Canadian goalkeeper.

Here’s a look at the Lionel Messi goal:

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Second GOOOAAAAL For Argentina

Lionel Messi finally finds a goal for Argentina, through the slightest of touches after a shot from a teammate. But, VAR intervenes to review the goal and it’s a valid one. It’s also Messi’s first goal of the tournament.

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Canada Still Toothless

The second-half is underway and there doesn’t seem to be any change in approach from either of the two teams so far. Midfield battle still deciding most of the game. Alphonso Davies with a fine attacking move early in the second-half, but the end product still remains messy. 

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: 60-40 Possession Split In First Half

We aren’t far away from the second half and only one goal separates the two teams after the first 45 minutes. Spain enjoyed more possession, 60-40 to be precise in the first half and they would look to repeat the same in the second half. It’s all about what Canada coach Jesse Marsch has planned for the remainder of the match.

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: David’s Equalising Attempt Saved

Jonathan David’s attempt from point-blank range saved by Emi Martinez. The Argentina goalkeeper made himself big, closing the narrow angle that David had. That’s also the half-time whistle and Argentina head into the break with a 1-0 lead. Lionel Messi might not have scored the opening goal but he has been central to his team’s dominance in the game. Canada have to come up with a much-improved plan in the second half if they are to make a comeback in the game.   

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Lionel Messi’s Effort Just Wide

Di Maria makes a brilliant run on the right flank before crossing the ball towards Alvarez who leaves the ball for Messi. The Inter Miami man looks to find the back of the goal using his right foot but his effort is just wide.  

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Canada Lacking Penetration

Plenty of ball wins for Canada in the middle. The Canadian midfielders have done well to take ball off the feet of Argentina players but have looked clueless thereafter. Still not many real chances to celebrate but Canada aren’t out of the game yet. 

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Di Maria’s Audacious Attempt

Angel di Maria, the former Real Madrid, looked to chip the goalkeeper from the edge of the box but he put a little more power behind the ball than his should have. Canada survive. It’s still 1-0 to Argentina. Lionel Messi also put left-back Tagliafico on goal but his attempt was blocked.

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Change In Approach But Same Result For Canada

Canada switch approach, now looking to build patiently from the back, looking to keep more of the ball than they have until now. But, the problem still remains in the final their where they’ve looked quite toothless so far. 

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: The Julian Alvarez Goal

Here’s a look at the Julian Alvarez goal:

JULIAN ALVAREZ GOAL FOR ARGENTINA!!! MY STRIKER SHOWING UP IN TBE COPA AMERICA pic.twitter.com/dAkisXq9iw

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Another Half-Hearted Attempt From Canada

Alistair Johnston of Canada swings a cross into the box, but he fails to cause any trouble to Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who handles the attempt quite well. Canada need to be a lot better in the final third of the pitch.

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Julian Alvarez With The GOAL

Argentina finally take the lead and it’s the Manchester City man Julian Alvarez who finds the back of the net. The Canadian defence switched off and Rodrigo de Paul easily found Alvarez for the opening goal. 

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Messi Drops Deep But Argentina Looking Toothless

Lionel Messi dropping deep to help Argentina better in build-up play but the movements by other forwards in front of him haven’t been at its best. 20 minutes gone and Argentina still haven’t tested the Canadian goalkeeper. 

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Opportunity Squandered By Canada

Canada’s three vs Argentina’s two gave them a big opportunity but poor passing in the final phase of the move  saw them squander an opportunity. Alphonso Davies then produced another such moment for Canada before Jonathan David and Cyle Larin made a mess of it.

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Argentina Enjoying 70% Possession

A lot of possession but not many meaningful chances for Argentina yet. Mac Allister looked to put Lionel Messi through on goal with a cheeky pass but it was cut out by the Canadian defence. Messi has tried to make such runs on three different occasion in the last few minutes but Canada defenders remain on guard. It’s still quite locked in the middle.

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Lionel Messi Puts The Shot Wide

The GOAT Lionel Messi finally found an opportunity to test the goalkeeper from just outside the penalty box. His shot, however, misses the right post by a whisker. Argentina slowly looking to get the game more under their control.

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Another Early Chance For Canada

Canada turning defence into attack quite quickly and that seems to be causing problem to Argentina. Jacob Shaffelburg unleashes a shot and sends it just wide of the right post. Promising signs for Canada. 

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: First Corner For Canada

Richie Laryea earns his team’s first corner and sends it into a huddle of Argentine defenders and one of them makes a good clearance. Nothing concrete for the Canadians from this opportunity.

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Argentina Keeping Possession

No rush from Argentina to get the ball to Lionel Messi as
they look to build patiently from the back. Ami Martinez has already had quite
a few touches as a goalkeeper as Canada look to put pressure on their defence
by high press.

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America semi-final Live: Alphonso Davies Key for Canada

This is indeed the biggest game in Canadian football history
and the man who holds the key for them against Canada is Bayern Munich
left-back Alphonso Davies. A victory today for Canada will make headlines all
across the globe. It’s to get the action underway! 

Argentina vs Canada, Copa America Semi-final LIVE: National Anthem Time

Both Argentina and Canada players have lined up inside the stadium for the national team. Not long before the action begins at the Metlife stadium of New Jersey.

Copa America Semi-final LIVE: Argentina vs Canada Starting XIs

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Copa America semi-final between Argentina and Canada. Here’s how the two teams are lining up:

Spain vs France LIVE: Supreme Performance

Since a quarter-final defeat by eventual champions Germany at the 2014 World Cup, France have made the final at every major tournament other than Euro 2020. That run includes a World Cup triumph in 2018 and a loss on penalties to Argentina in Qatar four years later, along with an extra-time defeat by Portugal at Euro 2016 on home soil.

Spain vs France LIVE: Fragile France

France have only scored three goals at Euro 2024, none of which have come from general play. Misfiring captain Kylian Mbappe, playing in a specialised mask due to a broken nose sustained in the opening fixture against Austria, has scored from the spot once, while the French have benefited from two own goals.

Spain vs France LIVE: Sensational Spain

Spain have lit up Euro 2024, winning all five games while scoring 11 goals and are just one win away from the final. To get there however, Spain will need to go through a France side who while not impressing in Germany have shown their expertise and experience at major tournaments to navigate their way to the final four.

Spain vs France LIVE: Hello and welcome

Welcome to the LIVE coverage of the Euro 2024 semifinal clash between Spain and France. Two favourites who had contrasting journeys to this point but quite capable of pulling off a stunner on any given day.

Portugal vs France LIVE: Solid chance for Portugal

Portugal receive the best chance of the second half till now and Bruno Fernandes makes a mess of it. Straight forward shot and saved by Maignan. Vitinha also had a chance but Maignan remains a huge figure in front of the French goal.

Portugal vs France LIVE: Mbappe injury

Injury concern for Mbappe and this can be a problem. The ball hit Mbappe on the side of his head and the France captain looks in a bit of bother. He was attended by the physios but not a big issue as he is back in action.

Portugal vs France LIVE: Big Euro 2024 news

Jude Bellingham is available for England’s Euro 2024 quarter-final with Switzerland after he was given a suspended one-game ban on Friday for his controversial celebration after scoring against Slovakia in the previous round. In a statement, European football’s governing body UEFA said that Bellingham would be fined 30,000 euros ($32,477) and suspended “for a total of one UEFA competition match for which he would be otherwise eligible for violating the basic rules of decent conduct”.

Portugal vs France LIVE: Early chance for Mbappe

A quick shot by Kylian Mbappe but no issues for Diogo Costa. The ball went straight into his hands and the Portuguese goalkeeper will be relieved. Score remains 0-0.

Portugal vs France LIVE: Second half

Time for the second half and we are off. Both teams missed quite a bit of chances and it looks like France and Portugal will be aiming to score early in this half. However, it will not be an easy affair.

Portugal vs France LIVE: Half-time

It is half-time and the score is Portugal 0-0 France. Chances for both teams but they were not able to produce that finish who could have been the decider. 

Portugal vs Slovenia LIVE: Bruno miss

The free kick was exactly in Cristiano Ronaldo but Portugal went with a different plan. Ronaldo proved to be decoy in that entire scenario as Bruno Fernandes took the free kick. However it was wide and no danger for France.

Portugal vs France LIVE: French domination

The last 10 minutes has been a lot about France launching attack after attack. Mbappe and Griezmann are dominating possession in the offensive areas and Portugal will have to find a way to launch a counter to this domination.

Portugal vs France LIVE: Fast break from Mbappe

The finishing has been a major source of concern for France in Euro 2024 and once again, it was on plain display. Kylian Mbappe broke fast as he raced past the Portugal defender but the final ball was just not there and no one to finish as well.

Portugal vs France LIVE: FRA turning it up

France are not going to be spectators in this encounter and Theo Hernandez produced a screamer from the edge of the box. However, Diogo Costa continues his brilliant form as he punched it away and the score remains 0-0.

Portugal vs France LIVE: Chance for Bruno!

A long range effort from Bruno Fernandes but it took a deflection off William Saliba and another corner for Portugal. Till now, 3 corners for Portugal but no luck from the set pieces for Cristiano Ronaldo and co.

Portugal vs France LIVE: No goals for Ronaldo

Portugal have been impressive in the Euro 2024 till now but Cristiano Ronaldo still have not scored a single goal. If he can score tonight, he will become the oldest scorer in the history of the competition.

Portugal vs France LIVE: Early attacks

Both Portugal and Spain are looking to attack from the very first minute and this is going to be interesting to see how long they can continue with this momentum. Slow and steady build up for France against a much more direct attacking football from Portugal.

Portugal vs France LIVE: Match is underway

We are underway and a huge roar from the crowd who are looking for a brilliant clash. Both former winners and both favourites for this title. However, who can prove to be the superior team tonight?

Portugal vs France LIVE: Time for the national anthems

The two teams are out in the middle and it is time for the national anthems. Clash of the heavyweights as it is Ronaldo vs Mbappe! We are minutes away from the match!

Euro 2024 Quarter-finals Live: Portugal unchanged

Portugal’s starting line-up is unchanged from their last-16 tie against Slovenia, which they won on penalties, as captain Cristiano Ronaldo plays despite failing to score so far in Germany. The winners of Friday’s match will advance to a semi-final in Munich next Tuesday.

Euro 2024 Quarter-finals Live: Two changes for France

Randal Kolo Muani and Eduardo Camavinga come into the France team which shows two changes for their Euro 2024 quarter-final showdown with Portugal in Hamburg on Friday. Kolo Muani, of Paris Saint-Germain, is handed his first start of the tournament in attack in place of Marcus Thuram after coming off the bench and forcing the late own goal which allowed France to beat Belgium 1-0 in the last round. Real Madrid midfielder Camavinga replaces Adrien Rabiot, who serves a one-game suspension after collecting his second booking of the tournament in the last 16.

Welcome folks!

Hello guys, welcome to the live blog of Euro 2024 quarter-final match between Portugal and France. Stay connected for all the live updates.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Havertz misses it!

Unai Simon was caught in no man’s land but Kai Havertz misses out. A chip over the goalkeeper’s head but it was agonisingly wide. No luck for Germany and they are so close to elimination now.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Germany opt for a legend

Thomas Mueller is here and this is the last throw of the dice for Germany. The Space Investigator has won many matches for his team in the past and his side will be looking for one more magical play.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: So close for Germany!

Fullkrug has hit the post and Germany come so close to equalising. A cut back found the big striker but he was off balance and his shot crashed into the post and bounced away. So close yet so far!

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Young power of Spain

Spain have relied heavily on their young superstars and they have delivered! Yamal has been an absolute revelation till now while Olmo found the magic to hand them the lead. 15 minutes to go and Spain are in control.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: What a save!

What a save by Unai Simon! Andrich had a lot of space to unleash a powerful shot but Simon was aware of it and pulled off a perfect dive to complete a solid save. This is brilliant football from Spain and time is running out for Germany.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Germany trying hard

The introduction of Fullkrug has completely changed how Germany attack and now, they are relying more on aerial balls. While they did get a couple of headers on target, nothing dangerous as of now and they continue to look for that goal.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Couple of changes for Germany once again

Germany are not down and out as they attack with all their might against Spain after conceding the goal. Couple of changes by Nagelsmann with Fulkrug being the big one as they now have a big centre forward who can be the focal point of the attacks.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Olmo scores!

Dani Olmo scores and Spain have taken the lead. Swift attack from Spain and once again, Yamal played a big role. Perfect pass from the youngster and Olmo made no mistake. Neuer had no chance and Spain have taken the advantage.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Fouls are not stopping

The fouls are just not stopping as the second half has seen more than 5 fouls in the past 2-3 minutes. Carlos Puyol and Gerard Pique in attendance and they will be interested in seeing how the defenders are handling the situation.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Germany’s new tactic

Writz on for Sane and Andrich on for Emre Can – Couple of changes for Germany as well as the second half begins. Game on!

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Another substitutiton for Spain

Spain are going for a substitute ahead of the second half – Nacho replaces Le Normand and this is a precautionary measure as the defender was on a yellow card.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: End of first half

That is the end of first half and the scoreline reads Spain 0-0 Germany. Surprising considering the fact that both teams have a lot of attacks. However, second half still left and if needed, extra time and the dreaded penalty shootout.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: A half of missed opportunities

The first half of this game was truly a story of missed opportunities. Both Germany and Spain had brilliant chances to take the lead. However, the finishing was just not there and both of them will have to look within to find a way to outwit the opposition.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Massive chances go begging

Kai Havertz once again had the chance to score as he chested down a brilliant pass but his shot was saved by Unai Simon. On the other end, it was Neuer who saved the shot from Nico Williams to keep this match 0-0.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Yellow card for Spain

Robin Le Normand becomes the first Spanish player to pick up a booking in this game. It has been quite a rough game till now with both sides not shying away from going for tackles.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Another yellow card

Another yellow card for Germany as David Raum is booked. Two defenders from Germany now have yellow cards and this is not going to be an easy game. With Spain depending on their pace a lot, the defenders are going to find it difficult to keep the attackers like Nico Williams and Dani Olmo in check.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: End to end football

It has been end to end stuff in this game till now. Both teams have looked like they can score at any time but that magic has been missing. Kai Havertz received the latest chance as he jumped the highest among the players for a cross but his header was saved easily by Unai Simon.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Bad news for Germany

Antonio Rudiger picks up a yellow card for a tackle on Dani Olmo and this is bad news for Germany. First, their centre back will now have to be careful and if they qualify for the semi-finals, he will not be available for the encounter.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Chances after chances

Chances on both sides as Germany first had an opportunity to take a shot but it was saved easily by the goalkeeper. Couple of minutes later, Yamal had a chance to score from a free-kick but his attempt was just inches wide of the target.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Pedri injured

Massive blow to Spain early in the match as Pedri has picked up an injury. The foul from Kroos resulted in a bad injury for the youngster as he limps off the field. Dani Olmo is a very early substitution for Spain.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Early collision

A slight injury to Cucurella followed by a foul on Pedri from Tonu Kroos. Powerful tackle but Pedri looks in a bit of bother. This is not going to be an easy game at all.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: We are underway

The match has began and Spain are on the front foot. A powerful shot from Alvaro Morata but straight to Neuer. However, a show of intent from Spain and they will be happy with this positive start.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Time for the national anthems

The two teams are out in the middle and it is time for the national anthems. We are just minutes away from a huge encounter in the Euro 2024.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: History

Both Germany and Spain have won three Euros titles, – the most by any side in the history of the competition. A massive game awaits as two heavyweights fight it out for a spot in the semifinals.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: ESP playing XI

Unai Simon; Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Aymeric Laporte, Marc Cucurella; Rodri, Fabian Ruiz; Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Nico Williams; Alvaro Morata (capt)

Spain vs Germany LIVE: GER playing XI

Manuel Neuer; Joshua Kimmich, Antonio Ruediger, Jonathan Tah, David Raum; Emre Can, Toni Kroos; Jamal Musiala, Ilkay Gundogan (capt), Leroy Sane; Kai Havertz

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Olmo-st a different route

Spanish media had reported that RB Leipzig forward Dani Olmo may come in ahead of Barcelona’s Pedri for the tie, but Luis De la Fuente decided to stick with his tried and tested formula.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Is consistency the key?

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente opted to stick with his starting XI from the 4-1 defeat of Georgia in their last 16 tie and the 1-0 win over Italy in the group stages.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Emre Can

Emre Can, who was left out of Nagelsmann’s original Euros squad but was called in at the 11th hour to replace the sick Aleksandar Pavlovic, will start his first match for the national team since September. Nagelsmann also brought back centre-back Jonathan Tah in place of Nico Schlotterbeck — Tah missed Germany’s 2-0 win over Denmark in Dortmund in the last 16 with a yellow card suspension.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Big changes

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has started Emre Can in defensive midfield alongside Toni Kroos, ahead of Robert Andrich, for Friday’s Euro 2024 quarter-final clash with Spain in Stuttgart. Andrich has been a fixture of Nagelsmann’s starting side since March and has played from the beginning in each of the hosts’ four matches so far at Euro 2024.

Spain vs Germany LIVE: Hello and welcome

Welcome to the live coverage of the Euro 2024 quarterfinal match between Spain and Germany. Two unbeaten sides with brilliant showing in the tournament till now and it is truly a clash of titans in the competition tonight.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Demiral scores again

A pinpoint corner kick into the box and it is Merih Demiral once again! The Turkish defender leaps over everyone and heads it powerfully into the goal. This is amazing stuff and Austria have only themselves to blame after multiple misses.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Austria left fuming

Some more misses and this is really poor from Austria. First Laimer hit his shot wide and then Arnautovic’s attempt was saved by the goalkeeper. This is not looking good for Austria at all.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Huge miss

That is a massive miss from Austria. A beautifully played through ball and the attacker just had the Turkish goalkeeper to beat. However, the shot was too straight and the save means that Turkey maintain their lead.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Second half begins

The second half begins and both teams will look to start fast. They did have a lot of chances but the finishing has just not been up to the mark till now.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Half time

It is half-time and Turkey lead 1-0 against Austria thanks to the early goal from Merih Demiral. The half had chances for both sides and it ended on the most obvious note as Austria wasted yet another chance to score.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: A half of missed chances

Both Austria and Turkey will be ruing the huge amount of missed chances in the first half as the score should have been way more than 1-0. While the goalkeepers did not have to make big saves, both teams have golden chances to score.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Full backs key for Turkey

Both Kadioglu and Muldur are playing deep inside the Austria half and they are quite often the ones who are carrying the ball to the attackers. Very interesting strategy from Turkey as they are banking on the full backs to run and provide the key passes.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Open game till now

It has been a really open encounter till now. Both sides are focused on getting the next goal and as a result, they are allowing the other side to also find spaces to launch their attacks. It looks like we will have more goals in this game.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Clash of quick attackers

Both Austria and Turkey have extremely quick attackers and this game is turning into a direct fight between them. Both set of attackers are trying to beat the defenders on sheer pace but except for Demiral’s opener, no goal in this match till now.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Swift reply

Austria were left stunned by the quick goal but they are responding well as they are quick on the attack. Couple of good chances to score but the finishing was just not up to the mark. 

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Demiral scores

Merih Demiral has scored within 2 minutes and Turkey have taken the lead. What a start to the game! Austria made a mess of the corner and Demiral had the easiest job of guiding the ball inside the net. What a start!

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: TUR Starting XI

Mert Gunok; Mert Muldur, Merih Demiral, Abdulkerim Bardakci, Ferdi Kadioglu; Ismail Yuksek, Kaan Ayhan (capt); Kenan Yildiz, Orkun Kokcu, Baris Alper Yılmaz; Arda Guler

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: AUT Starting XI

Patrick Pentz; Stefan Posch, Kevin Danso, Philipp Lienhart, Phillipp Mwene; Nicolas Seiwald, Konrad Laimer; Romano Schmid, Christoph Baumgartner, Marcel Sabitzer; Marko Arnautovic (capt)

Austria vs France LIVE: Change in tactics

Turkey are without captain Hakan Calhanoglu and defender Samet Akaydin due to suspension after their fiery 2-1 win over the Czech Republic to secure progress to the last 16. Vincenzo Montella makes three changes in total as Abdulkerim Bardakci, Kaan Ayhan and Orkun Kokcu come into the starting line-up. Real Madrid’s Arda Guler and Juventus teenager Kenan Yildiz start in a youthful Turkey attack.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Big changes

Ralf Rangnick made three changes as he aims to make Austrian football history by reaching the quarter-finals of the European Championship for the first time against Turkey on Tuesday. Bayern Munich’s Konrad Laimer and defenders Kevin Danso and Phillipp Mwene come into the team that beat the Netherlands 3-2 to win Euro 2024 Group D, which also included France. However, there is no place for Michael Gregoritsch, who scored a hat-trick when Austria thrashed Turkey 6-1 in a friendly March.

Austria vs Turkey LIVE: Hello and welcome

Welcome to the LIVE coverage of the Euro 2024 Round of 16 match between Austria and Turkey. A clash between two solid sides and considering their form, we are about to witness something special.

Portugal vs Slovenia LIVE: Hello and welcome

Welcome to the LIVE coverage of the Euro 2024 Round of 16 encounter between Portugal and Slovenia. A big match for one of the tournament favourites in Portugal but considering Slovenia’s form, they will be a tough opponent.

France vs Belgium LIVE: No luck for Thuram

Thuram has received two of the best chances in this game but he was just not able to take the right position on both occasions. A missed header followed by getting blocked by the centre back – He will have to do better as France’s frontman.

France vs Belgium LIVE: Clear tactics

The tactics of both side have been very clear in the first half – direct attacking football by France and counter-attacks by Belgium. While the match has not seen any goal till now, the midfield battle has been quite interesting and that can end up deciding the winner.

France vs Belgium LIVE: Yellow card for Griezmann

A rash challenge by Antoine Griezmann on Jeremy Doku results in a yellow card. The resultant free-kick was a good one and it took a save from Maignon to deny De Bruyne. Rabiot also received a yellow card and he is out of the quarterfinals if France can qualify.

France vs Belgium LIVE: Bad finishing

The final pass has been missing quite clearly for France but their finishing has been worse. Both Mbappe and Griezmann had somewhat good chances but the end product was just not that good.

France vs Belgium LIVE: Some big changes

Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco has made two changes from the goalless draw with Ukraine which ensured their passage to the knockout stage in Germany. Yannick Carrasco comes in for Youri Tielemans in midfield while Lois Openda replaces Leandro Trossard on the right flank.

France vs Belgium LIVE: Cagey battle

It has been a tight midfield battle between the sides till now with both sides looking to stamp their authority in the early minutes. France have been the side with more attacks but Belgium have concentrated on keeping their defensive structure in face of attacks,

France vs Belgium LIVE: Match is underway

The match is underway and this is going to be a big clash with respect to the competition. A positive start by both teams but no significant attack as of now.

France vs Belgium LIVE: Time for national anthems

The teams are out in the middle and it is time for the national anthems. We are just minutes away from a massive clash in Euro 2024 and it will be interesting to see which side emerges on top.

France vs Belgium LIVE: Belgium starting XI

Koen Casteels; Wout Faes, Jan Vertonghen, Arthur Theate; Timothy Castagne, Amadou Onana, Kevin De Bruyne (capt), Yannick Carrasco; Lois Openda, Romelu Lukaku, Jeremy Doku

France vs Belgium LIVE: Big return

Antoine Griezmann returns to France’s starting XI for their Euro 2024 last-16 clash with Belgium in Duesseldorf on Monday. Atletico Madrid forward Griezmann was dropped for Bradley Barcola by coach Didier Deschamps for France’s 1-1 draw with Poland, Les Bleus’ final Group C fixture. But the 33-year-old returns for Monday’s heavyweight contest, as Kylian Mbappe starts up front with what he called his “horrible” face mask protecting his broken nose.

France vs Belgium LIVE: Hello and welcome

Welcome to the LIVE coverage of the Euro 2024 Round of 16 encounter between France and Belgium. A heavyweight clash between two huge teams and the tournament will surely lose one of the favourites for the title tonight.
