The perfect game of football

Somehow, England have finished top of their group. And somehow, they’re in the best side of the draw. The plan worked!Marcus, Luke, Vish and Pete react to a drab 0-0 that saw no big changes from the previous game and leaves them thinking there are bigger problems with England’s front line. At least we can cling to Anthony Gordon and Cole Palmer. Oh, and we can still enjoy a nice glass of Budweiser with Geoff Hurst, of course.Plus, a former Romanian international has a conspiracy theory and the departing Scotland team get an unwelcome Bavarian surprise.Thank you to everyone who came down to last night's England Watchalong!

Need a comforting embrace from Marcus, Luke and Vish? Bring it in.

Stop that.Marcus, Jim and Pete react to another afternoon barn burner, agree that England are definitely certainly absolutely better without Jamal Musiala, and figure out how to get rid of a bee hive from a stadium.

Turkey 3-1 Georgia. Otherwise known as: the perfect game of football. Today, Marcus, Luke and Vish are here to once again explain why you simply must watch every game at the Euros.

Day Five and we have our first big upset of the tournament! Andy and Vish react to that, while Pete is of course wondering how this new microphone-in-a-ball technology can be used for other purposes…We also design a new mask for Kylian Mbappé after he goes full Steve Bruce, the culinary wars continue on the streets of Germany – anyone fancy punching a Yorkshire pudding? – and Romania make Ukraine even darker horses.

One word to describe England’s win over Serbia: eeeeeeeeaaazayyyyyyy! A few more words you could use: a conservative, cautionary reminder of England teams of old that might serve them well in games to come.Luke and Andy are on hand to reassure Marcus and Jim after England battled through against a physical, handy Serbian side. We talk Jude Bellingham, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and whether England are conservative or controlling.
