Berlin, Sep 23 (Ians) Kylian Mbappe added another fine solo goal in France’s 2-0 victory against Austria, while the Netherlands, Belgium and Croatia all claimed wins in the UEFA Nations League late on Thursday.
Mbappe and Olivier Giroud scored in the second half in France’s convincing victory. Mbappe now has 28 goals in 58 games for France and is level with Youri Djorkaeff in 10th place on Les Bleus’ all-time scoring list.

With the win, world champions France move up to third place in Group 1, with Austria sitting bottom of the group.
World Cup runners-up Croatia took over the lead in Group 1 with a 2-1 win over Denmark.
Borna Sosa put Croatia ahead in the second half, before Christian Eriksen levelled the score for Denmark.

Some 3.4 billion people — almost half of the world’s 7.6B population — is expected to watch the FIFA World Cup that starts Thursday, as the soccer tournament, which takes place this year in Russia, remains one of the world’s most popular media events.
Latin America is expected to have the largest number of viewers, according to research company GlobalWebIndex, followed by the Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific and Europe. However, thanks to an embarrassing defeat against Trinidad & Tobago, the U.S. won’t be competing in the World Cup for the first time since 1986, a major blow to one of the largest TV markets in the world (albeit one hamstrung by time differences this time around). It’s thought that less than a quarter of the population in the U.S. will tune in to watch any games, and those may be largely expats and those cheering on the Mexican team.

Just a few years ago, Bolton Wanderers were earning a point at European heavyweight Bayern Munich in a UEFA Cup tie at the Allianz Arena. The Germans, while not the Guardiola-lite powerhouse of today, still boasted the likes of Oliver Kahn, Franck Ribery, Toni Kroos and Bastian Schweinsteiger, so when Kevin Davies netted a late equaliser to salvage a 2-2 draw, the Trotters were in dreamland.
Of course, Bolton were used to such scalps over the big boys. Sam Allardyce had departed for the north-east in the summer, but under him he had developed the plucky First Division side into a tough-tackling, hardened Premier League unit who consistently overthrew those who dared to escape the Reebok Stadium with all three points.
In the last ten years, the Trotters have not only enjoyed two European adventures, but they have appeared in a Carling Cup final, finished in...
