    We've just had what I believe is the first Mexican wave here.

    We need a goal. Desperately.

    France 2-1 Belgium

    Grace Geyoro goes down in the box and the referee waves play on.

    Was it a dive?

    Those in attendance think so and loudly jeer the France midfielder.

    France 2-1 Belgium

    But Nicky Evrard wasn't too sure on this occasion as Clara Mateo's cross (or was it a shot?) sails over the Belgium goalkeeper's head but thankfully the wrong side of the post.

    Again France, it looks like a nothing ball but Sarr knows what's going to happen - the ball is going to be played in behind. She's never getting beaten for pace but the goalkeeper did well.

    France 2-1 Belgium

    Brilliant goalkeeping from Nicky Evrard as she comes sprinting off her line to deny Ouleymata Sarr, who had burst clear but was let down by a heavy touch.

    Griedge Mbock Bathy heads France into a 2-1 lead.

    France 2-1 Belgium

    It's Kadidiatou Diani causing all the problems again down the right and putting a lovely cross into the box, but Ouleymata Sarr with a swing and a miss.

    In the next move, Delphine Cascarino drags her shot off target.

    I was trying to write some of my report at half time but got distracted by a Belgium fan dressed as some sort of Viking and some France fans in chicken hats dancing to Beyonce's Crazy In Love and posing for photos.

    You've got to love international football.

    France 2-1 Belgium

    She already has one and Kadidiatou Diani is looking for a second at the start of the second half but sends her shot from the angle into the side-netting.

    It finished all square between Italy and Iceland in Manchester.

    France took their foot off the pedal. They started at 100 miles an hour. Relentless waves of pressure. It felt like they might surpass their opening game.

    After 15 minutes they kind of stepped off and gave Belgium an easy 15 minutes to bed into the game. They [briefly] paid the price.

    The fans are enjoying what they are seeing here as both groups of players are clapped off the pitch by their respective fans.

    It has certainly been entertaining but I'm not sure how happy France boss Corinne Diacre will be with her side's inability to put away more of their many chances.

    In the second half against Italy they either stepped off or were distinctly below par, they can afford for neither to happen this time.

    Peaches FC is a five-a-side team for women and non-binary players, set up in London in 2021 after founders Jess and Amy realised they didn't have a club to represent them in the local area.

    Since then, Peaches has gone from strength to strength, with its members forming strong bonds on and off the pitch - and Jess and Amy say starting the team is the best thing they ever did.

    I'm really happy. We started really well like the game against Italy. A lot of energy and intensity but then Belgium were really tight and not giving much space. But we had to expect that from them.
