In the first game Belgium, will look to get off to a good start with the other teams in the group being so strong, against Iceland, who have a calm, experienced, balanced team who can make it hard and upset the more favoured teams in the group, at Academy Stadium, Manchester

Later French who are ranked third in the world, after not concede a single goal in qualifying and scored 44, but have not reached the last four in a European Championship, play Italy, who have a strong team that have played together for many years, at New York Stadium, Rotherham

The second games start today with both home teams in action in Group A

First is Northern Ireland, who are without Simone Magill who is out of the Euros after sustaining an ACL injury against Norway, against Austria, defeat would all but end any hopes of progression for either side after both were defeated in their opening games, at St Mary's Stadium, Southampton

Then England, who have brushing off suggestions they are under more pressure as tournament hosts, and one of the favourites for the tournament, saying their focus was solely on winning and "entertaining", play Norway, who are currently top of the group on goal difference, but describe themselves as "definitely underdogs" being ranked three places lower in FIFA rankings, at Amex Stadium, Brighton

Northern Ireland are on the brink of an early exit from Euro 2022 following a 2-0 defeat by Austria in Southampton.

Next a big game for both teams who have serious ambition on the championship, Germany, who will be without forward Lea Schuller after she tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday, and Spain, who hope to put previous disappointments in tournaments behind them and prove they can deal with the pressure against a top team, at Brentford Community Stadium, London

yes the runners up of group B will play against England. So is quite likely to be one of those two.

Pernille Harder's second-half goal ensured Denmark kept their hopes of progressing from Group B alive as they overcame a determined Finland
