England are Taking The Mikautadze. First they land on the softer side of the draw avoiding France, Germany, Portugal and Spain and then yesterday the Belgians decided they didn't want to be there either and with England left with the potential of The Netherlands or Slovakia in the last 16, Georgia's stunning victory against a heavily rotated Portugal meant another 'so-called' easier tie for The Three Lions. It couldn't hardly have landed better for England to have a real go at reaching another final. But what can they expect from Slovakia, who remember, have already shocked Belgium in this tournament? Clayton and James review yesterday's four games including Belgium disappointing again, The Czechs unfortunate exit, Turkey's chances against well fancied Austria and Georgia's historic qualification. Plus, first thoughts for Euro Fantasy and the Last 16 and a review of how Clayton and James did on Limitless in Matchday 3.

Clayton and James discuss the conclusion of Groups C and D at The Euros and it's job done for England, Group Winners and on to the so-called easier side of the draw. But once again the performance and result disappointed. There's discussion on the good and the bad from The Three Lions latest showing, if Denmark can trouble Germany on Saturday, how France performed against Poland which means a challenging path to the trophy, and dark horses Austria impressed again with a 3-2 victory against The Netherlands in Berlin. Plus, is it now The Netherlands on Sunday for England? James details the permutations for the third place finishers and there's the latest for Euro Fantasy including another Lukaku v Ronaldo captaincy debate for those who have missed with the armband so far.

Clayton joins James to discuss the latest for Euro Fantasy and last night's conclusion to Group B as Spain's second string team beat Albania and Croatia are nearly out after Italy scored a 98th minute equaliser which means a possible end to Luka Modric's International career. And in the second half of the Podcast there's discussion on England and the intel suggests it will be one change with Connor Gallagher replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold. There's reaction to the news, what Clayton and James would do, a look ahead, knowing that irrespective of the result tonight, England are through to the last 16, but how important is it that they win the Group?

Many England fans would have been ready for this, a sub-par performance and points dropped in the Group. So why does it still feel so bad!? Suj and James discuss being here before but why yesterday's draw with Denmark feels worse for England than previous draws at major tournaments, and there's search for how to fix the clear problems The Three Lions are having. It didn't help that England's showing was followed by Spain putting in a super performance against reigning Champions Italy either. Yesterday's games covered and Suj may be getting his revenge on James in Euro Fantasy.

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.
