De Bruyne wasted What now for Belgium

In some ways, they are facing the same difficulties as tournament favourites England. But unlike Gareth Southgate's side, it was their profligacy that caught the eye. Against Belgium, they managed 19 attempts, but few were on target. But while Deschamps is trying to find the right formula in the final third, there is one thing that can be encouraging for Les Bleus. Their control.
