About this episode

Spain are the champions of Europe... and England have fallen at the last hurdle once more. Marcus, Luke, Andy and Jim pick up the pieces after another crushing Euros final defeat – but, you know what? Better to have scraped your way to the final than to never have scraped at all.


They discuss what went wrong after a promising first half, one of Harry Kane’s worst nights in an England shirt, that Cole Palmer moment, and what happens next for England and Gareth Southgate. Come for the cathartic chat, stay for the equally cathartic tournament-ending montage.
