Scotland fan and EFL Fantasy Podcast co-host Angus McPhail joins James to discuss Day 1 of Matchday 2 at The European Championship which included a much improved Scotland claiming a draw with Switzerland that leave them with qualification to the knockout stage in their hands.

There's also coverage from the other game in the group and it's become clearer which German assets are the one's to get in Fantasy for the knockout stage and Croatia have it all to do to qualify following their 2-2 draw with Albania.

Clayton's back from watching England in Germany and joins James to discuss his trip to Germany and discuss the 3 games played yesterday at The Euros and we finally got some shocks as Romania humbled Ukraine before Belgium succumbed to defeat to Slovakia. But France held off a pluck challenge from dark horses Austria. There's also discussion on Euro Fantasy and which players caught the eye yesterday, whether Bruno Fernandes or Cristiano Ronaldo should be backed with the captaincy tonight for those who need to take their final gamble and what should Kylian Mbappe owners do following on from the France superstar suffering a suspected broken nose last night?

Suj and James review the opening three days at The Euros as the favourites all won bar a Denmark side that were held by Slovenia prior to England's victory over Serbia in Gelsenkirchen... but not everyone is happy. There's a detailed analysis and explanation for why the game got tougher for England in the second half and why it's okay to not be happy but also be content with what happened. There's coverage of Euro Fantasy dilemmas including whether to stick or twist for owners who have had a captaincy return but perhaps not the haul they wanted, whether it should be Lukaku or Mbappe for those twisting today and options not considered are emerging ahead of Matchday 2.

Burnley Correspondent Jack Toner joins James to discuss the shocking turn of events that saw manager Vincent Kompany become Bayern Munich's new manager despite suffering relegation with The Clarets. Why have Bayern ultimately decided to go with the former Manchester City defender and could he make a success of a job where he'll have nowhere near the power or influence he had at Turf Moor? How will he remembered by Burnley fans after last season ultimately ended in a dismal return following the previous season's outstanding Champioship triumph? And there's discussion on potential Kompany replacements and what may be next for the club moving forward.

Chelsea correspondent Gary Mantle joins James to discuss a dramatic couple of weeks at Stamford Bridge with an excellent finish to the Premier League season was followed by the shocking departure of Mauricio Pochettino and the appointment of Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca. There's discussion on whether the Pochettino departure really was by 'mutual consent' and fan sentiment towards the decision and the former Tottenham manager. The feeling towards the appointment of Enzo Maresca and what we can expect from The Championship winning manager. Plus the Podcast as a repetitive theme of asking what is it that Chelsea really want? Is it immediate success or a longer term vision? And who really is making the football decisions... and do they know what they're doing!?
