Key events:
The important thing to remember as Group D concludes tonight is that France, with six points from a possible six, have already qualified for the quarter-finals. Aside from that it’s all up for grabs, with fourth-placed Italy able to progress, if they defeat Belgium and Iceland don’t beat Les Bleus this evening. Belgium know exactly the same thing: win tonight, and if Iceland lose to or draw with France (as seems likely), they will be going through. Unless you’ve been living in a cave (which come to think of it would be perfect in this weather) you will be aware of the freakishly hot temperatures the UK is currently experiencing. Rob Smyth’s research tells us that 33C is forecast before kick-off at the Academy Stadium in Manchester for Italy v Belgium, while New York Stadium in Rotherham is expected to be an even hotter 35C where Iceland meet France. There will be cooling breaks aplenty. Kick-off is at 8pm – why not begin your exhaustive pre-match reading with our interactive guide to all 368 players at Women’s Euro 2022?
