The Lars Resort

At least that's what football seemed to be thinking, anyway. Spain are the European Champions, and deservedly so.

England are, somehow, in the final of Euro 2024. Underwhelming performances and late goals, are they Italy in disguise?

Hark and behold! Spain dismantle Didier Deschamps' dismal doomsday device! Kate Mason joins and adds some chaotic energy to the pod.

England are in the semis! Still not exactly good, but they were definitely less bad. And in the distance we hear the clip-clop of clogs as the Dutch march on.

Spain knock out hosts Germany after the latter fair to find an extra gear. France and Portugal serve up a pile of hot garbage, but France's tactic of not scoring goals continues to pay off.

The Euros are fun again! The xF was way up, with the Netherlands playing well and Austria - Turkey living up to expectations. Turkish football enjoyer Andy Brassell joins to help make sense of it all - and look ahead to the Quater-finals.

France and Portugal fail to impress yet manage to progress. And Cristiano Ronaldo, it's definitely getting weird.

England scrape by Slovakia. If the plan is to make the rest of Europe think they're very bad, the plan is going well. Meanwhile, Spain are brilliant and Georgia are out.

Germany stay in the race, Italy sink without a trace.

Pod favorite Peter Welpton returns to discuss the group stage and where it all goes from here. We wrestle a terrible line and some curious audio problems, but in the end it's mostly fine.
