France v Belgium live stream, Thursday 14 July, 8pm BST, BBC One
France will be looking to make it two wins from two at Euro 2022 when they face Belgium on Thursday night.
The main question mark over this France squad heading into the tournament was over the togetherness within the camp. The manager, Corine Diacre, is not particular popular with several members of her squad. Two players who would surely be part of France's traveling party based on ability, Amandine Henry and Eugenie Le Sommer, were left at home after falling out with the boss.
The fear before a ball had been kicked in England was that France might implode this summer. There has never been any doubt over the talent within their ranks, but football is littered with stories of supposedly strong teams crashing and burning if everyone is not pulling in the same direction.
Perhaps those concerns were overblown. France produced a stunning display in their opening encounter of the tournament, thrashing Italy 5-1 at the New York Stadium in Rotherham, the venue for Thursday's meeting with Belgium. All five of the French goals came in the opening 45 minutes, as a decent Azzurre team were blown away.
Belgium will have watched that match back with trepidation. Their best chance of pulling off an upset (and even a draw would surely match that description) is by keeping things tight early on and hoping France grow frustrate and lose focus. Even then, it is difficult to see how they would be able to keep Diacre's women out for 90 minutes.
Belgium drew 1-1 with Iceland on matchday one, a result which did not particularly suit either team. Anything the Red Flames can get here would be a bonus; their fate is more likely to be decided by the outcome of their meeting with Italy on Monday.
France, for their part, will book their place in the knockout phase with another victory in Yorkshire.
Kick-off is at 8pm BST on Thursday 14 July. The game is live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website in the UK. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Euro 2022 football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Euro 2022 fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
