In the latest Eurosport vodcast in partnership with The Beautiful Game Podcast, Dotun Abijoh, Justin Cole and Pete Sharland react to the Euro 2020 final between England and eventual champions of the tournament Italy after all the drama at Wembley Stadium. From Italy's stunning triumph to England's disappointment on the biggest stage and, unfortunately, some lamentable behaviour from the home 'fans'. For all the positives to take from England's showing at the tournament and Italy's triumph, there was some lamentable behaviour - particularly with racial abuse aimed at the three players who missed penalties for the hosts, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka. The team also give their views on a number of other topics from the final, and indeed the tournament, including praise for the outstanding Italy team who ended up champions, England's prospects looking ahead to Qatar and debate as to whether Southgate should have approached things a bit differently in the final.

In the latest Eurosport x The Beautiful Game podcast, Buj and Dot are joined by Eurosport's very own Pete Sharland. The team break down Gareth Southgate’s tactics in England's victory over Czech Republic and provide answers as to what he should do for the last 16. Bukayo Saka and Jack Grealish were both given starts against the Czechs at Wembley Stadium - very surprisingly in the case of the former - and the pair rewarded their manager with impressive displays. Now, Southgate has a bit of a dilemma as he also seeks to bring back Phil Foden and maybe Mason Mount while juggling other selection issues. Also, let's appreciate Luka Modric some more, shall we? Croatia could now be dangerous... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the latest Eurosport x The Beautiful Game show, Buj and Dot are joined by Eurosport's own Ben Snowball. The team break down what exactly went so wrong for Gareth Southgate and England in their Euro 2020 clash with Scotland at Wembley Stadium. For all the criticism of striker and captain Harry Kane, the trio believe it has not really been his fault and he will surely come good. Southgate MUST use his bench with England's wealth of attacking options and make the changes that are so needed during matches, according to the team. What now for England and how can they put things right ahead of their final group game against the Czech Republic? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

But the team feel that his perfect destination may well be Arsenal.... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Thought Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal were in swansong territory? Think again. Ronaldo is 36 years young and looks capable of playing long beyond Euro 2020 alongside an exciting group of international teammates including Bruno Fernandes, Ruben Dias and Joao Felix.  And what about France, who are widely tipped to storm to the title? Were they really that impressive against Germany? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
