Ahead of the World Cup, golfers from England and Belgium go head to head in a penalty shootout.

England and Belgium will go head to head at the World Cup next month in Russia, but which team would take the bragging rights on the golf course?

Ahead of the two countries meeting during the group stage in Russia, we asked the golfers from both nations to do battle and see who could claim the early bragging rights.

With Belgian Knockout tournament host Thomas Pieters representing Belgium and Jordan Smith flying the flag for England, the pair took part in a unique penalty shootout.

Each player had five attempts from 50 yards to try and pitch a golf ball into a football goal without bouncing, with one point available for finding the target and a bonus five points for hitting the frame.
