Episode 2980: Saved By The Bellingham, Nico’s Spanish Symphony, German Groove, Ugly Italy
England were truly awful for most of tonight’s game against Slovakia, until Jude Bellingham’s sweet finish bailed out his country at the death.
“Sometimes it feels like there’s a pile-on from the fans… moments like tonight throw it back to some people” ?

We get Ken’s post-match analysis from Gelsenkirchen. Southgate lives to fight another day but surely this crew can’t beat the Swiss army knife?
And Lars Sivertsen gives us his thoughts on the Spain game, Nico Williams’ superstar status, and what this tournament has meant to the proud, skilful Georgians.
1 – Nico Williams is the only player on record at the UEFA European Championship (since 1980) to score a goal, assist a goal, and complete 100% of his passes (46/46) in a game he started. Immaculate. #EURO2024 pic.twitter.com/XXXMuNWdm3
