EURO 2020 | Ep 1 | When In Rome

THE TIMES
About this episode

Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Gregor Robertson, Tom Clarke, Matt Dickinson and Alyson Rudd.


Euro 2020 is finally here and so is the first of our special daily episodes of The Game!


We react to the first game of the tournament as Italy show they mean business, Andrea Bocelli takes us back to Italia ’90 and a miniature remote-controlled car gets way more attention than perhaps it should have (00:00)


Alyson, Matt and Tom make their pre-tournament predictions and we find out who Tom met in a petrol station while 'scouting' on behalf of England (25:25)


Today’s result:

Turkey 0 - 3 Italy
