England 2-2 Belgium

Wembley Stadium

Two of the world's five best international teams met each other tonight and cancelled each other out in an entertaining draw in London.

England are ranked 3rd in the world and Belgium are ranked 4th with only World Champions Argentina (1) and France (2) ranked higher.

France and England are the two favourites to win Euro 2024 in Germany.

Each of these two quality sides will either win the tournament or will get close to winning it.

That's true. Neither side has won the Euros, either, although England almost won Euro 2020, only losing to Italy in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw.

Of course it's football. They use their feet. They aren't allowed to to use their hands and arms except the goalkeepers, and even they can only do so in their own penalty areas.

Almost won. Wow, that's a lot of letters for "lost."

They are not using a football. That is a soccer ball. AKA abused basketball.
