The Nations League run continues. After Norway against Portugal and Germany against Greece, beIN SPORTS Australia's highlights of Belgium against France are the third European reel in a row to leave the channel's normal first-day pace far behind.
A new upload here usually starts gently. This one opened at about thirty times that usual start and was closing in on ninety thousand views barely a day after it went up.
The video is the match cut down to its key moments, posted under the plain title format the channel uses for all its highlights. Its tags single out one player, Michael Olise, the France winger who made his name in England with Crystal Palace before his move to Bayern Munich.
International football is only part of what this official channel carries. Its about page reads like a season's fixture list, from LaLiga, Serie A and the Bundesliga down through the EFL's League Two, across to the Copa Libertadores, and over to the ATP and WTA tennis tours. For now, though, it is the international matches that stand out, and the channel as a whole was running above its usual daily views as well.
