France, who are ranked number three in the world, will progress to the quarter-finals with a game to spare if they beat Belgium tonight.

French national anthem, one of the greats, no doubt about it.

It is my second France game in a row which means another chance to enjoy a rendition of their national anthem.

A guy to my right just belted it out with particularly impressive gusto.

It looks a smaller crowd here than Sunday but they are well up for this game, lots of noise already as kick off approaches.

France have won the last six meetings between the sides, scoring 23 goals.

The last time Belgium avoided defeat against the French was in the last competitive fixture between the sides – a goalless in a Euro 1989 qualifier in May 1988.

Belgium men's boss Roberto Martinez has been showing his support for the women's team. He was at the Iceland game in Manchester at the weekend and I believe I've just clocked him here at Rotherham too. Either that or some poor chap will be wondering why I was stood snapping away at him for a couple of minutes...

The Belgians will have got a boost from Italy's draw with Iceland earlier. Some of their media in the press room beforehand were not holding out much hope of a result today but now they're happy that their hopes of progressing to the knockouts will remain alive until the final group game, regardless of what happens tonight.

You saw what England did to Norway. Belgium will be cautious in their approach. They won’t go out and be open. They’ll pick and choose when they do it.

Belgium fought back to claim a 1-1 draw against Iceland in their Euro 2022 Group D encounter in front of a raucous crowd in Manchester.

Everyone in France was really surprised [with the 5-1 win over Italy]. Before the tournament France were not playing experienced teams so nobody knew the level of the team. Everyone enjoyed the synergy of the team [against Italy]. Everyone is wondering what’s coming now.

Cheers Tomasz Schafernaker.

Uefa couldn't have hoped for a better time to have the Euros in England given the glorious weather we've been enjoying.

It is another fine evening in Rotherham, although when France put five past Italy it was 29C. Imagine what they could be like now it's six degrees cooler...

As I arrived earlier, the brass band outside the New York Stadium was doing a very good job of refraining from playing the Alicia Keys song about the city, instead getting the fans arriving going with various, jazzy versions of Beyonce and CeeLo Green songs.

The atmosphere has been building as France make a very welcome return here, looking to follow up their five goal, five star performance against Italy on Sunday with another three points against Belgium that will fire them into the knockout stages.

There were question marks over just how unified this team is as they look to win a major women's tournament for the first time but there certainly didn't appear to be any tensions against Italy and another strong performance will have many believing this could well be their year given their devastating attack.

Kicking off between Peter Beale and Ben Mitchell on BBC Two.

Kicking off soon between France and Belgium on BBC One.

Tune in for the build-up.

France make two changes to the side that thrashed Italy 5-1 on Sunday although, unsurprisingly, they are not in their attack.

Griedge Mbock Bathy come into central defence while Clara Mateo starts in midfield, alongside Grace Geyoro, who scored a hat-trick against the Italians.

France XI: Peyraud-Magnin, Karchaoui, Renard, Mbock Bathy, Perisset, Mateo, Bilbault, Geyoro, Cascarino, Katoto, Diani

Belgium are unchanged from the side that drew 1-1 with Iceland in their Group D opener.

Sari Kees and Laura De Neve face a big task in the centre of Beglium’s defence as they look to keep the France attack at bay.

Belgium XI: Evrard, Philtjens, De Neve, Kees, Vangheluwe, Biesmans, Vanhaevermaet, Cayman, De Caigny, Dhont, Wullaert

"These streets will make you feel brand new.

"Big lights will inspire you.

"Hear it for New York, New York, New York."

We're in Rotherham today for France v Belgium.
