It's the BiFactor, joined by regular guest Chelsea-fan Mark, AKA Triple M. 

We discuss tactics and performances in the EURO2020 round of 16.

  • Denmark tactically and/or emotionally have grown through adversity
  • Italy made to work, but have not been tested sternly enough. Plus, missing Mario Balotelli
  • Czech Republic dutifully send the Dutch home. Jose was right bout Frank De Boer.
  • Roberto Martinez and "white privilege" (very tongue-in). Belgium would be way better than this with a better Manager.
  • Portugal need to look beyond Cristiano.
  • Pedri is world class and Spain is a dark horse in this competition
  • Pogba is still an enigma, and Matuidi is missed. Maybe Giroud should have played instead of Benzema.
  • England: boring and effective is a winning formula, but Foden or Sancho should be playing on the RW
  • Germany were unserious.
  • Ukraine "have always been offensive", and are touted to be the real dark horse.
