Belgium And Iceland Curse Missed Chances In Group Opener With France Lying In Wait

With France widely expected to take top spot in Group D at Euro 2022, Iceland and Belgium squared off Sunday at Manchester City's Academy Stadium knowing that three points would prove invaluable in reaching the knockout stage.
