Episode 2076: Danish Hug, Young Chiesa, Pepe’s Elbow, Shaw’s Schlap
Half the teams that started the finals of Euro 2020/1 have been knocked out, and now the big teams are starting to fall.
We talk about where it went wrong for Holland, and why the real victim in their downfall is Jose Mourinho.
Rory Smith and Dion Fanning join us to talk about Belgium v Portugal.
Was violence part of Portugal’s gameplan? Rory has been doing some blue sky thinking about the future of the Euros. What if we went… even bigger?
The Euros should expand. 16 teams should qualify automatically. The Nations League should be revamped to create space in the calendar. Here’s a blueprint for football, you’re welcome. https://t.co/turFkFStw9
