The big Euro 2024 quiz!

It's been a quiet few days, hasn't it? A teary Alec and Alex are on hand in our penultimate episode to discuss England's agonising loss to Spain in the Euros final and the breaking news that Gareth Southgate has stepped down as Three Lions boss. We analyse what went wrong for England as they were thoroughly outclassed by Luis de la Fuente's side, before looking back on Southgate's reign as a whole. What legacy does he leave? What are our favourites moments from his tenure? And, crucially, who should replace him? There's even time to dish out a few Euro Zone awards in recognition of the players who have made the last four weeks in Germany so special... 0:00: Introduction1:12: Classy Spain get the trophy they deserve10:25: Gareth is gone20:55: Our Euro 2024 awards31:00: What's next for the Euro Zone Football Show?

The end of an era

So the moment has arrived: it’s the Euro 2024 final in Berlin on Sunday… and England are in it!&nbsp; Alec, Tomás and Alex analyse the Three Lions’ chances against a fearsome-looking Spain side. Do La Roja have any weak points? Should Gareth Southgate tinker with his starting XI? And are England peaking at just the right time? We discuss the key match-ups that will decide who becomes European champions this weekend&nbsp;– then predict which team that will be.

Euro 2024 final preview: is football coming home?

Ollie Watkins, take a bow. The Aston Villa forward's 90th-minute effort means England are in a Euros final for the second consecutive tournament — and Alec, Tomás and Alex couldn't be happier. We break down that finish, whether we owe Gareth Southgate an apology and some controversial refereeing decisions from that game. There's also a look back at Spain's brilliant semi-final win over France, with debates about whose goal was better out of Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo and whether Kylian Mbappé is becoming a problem for Les Bleus. 0:00: Introduction1:17: Watkins wins it for England16:16: Yamal and Olmo magic sends France packing26:16: Sticker Cup (R13) X: <a href="https://x.com/EuroZoneShow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://x.com/EuroZoneShow</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eurozonefootballshow/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/eurozonefootballshow/</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558993480514" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558993480514</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@EuroZoneFootballShow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@EuroZoneFootballShow</a> Logo by Alex BarkerMusic by John Luke

England are in the final — sorry Gareth!

With two blockbuster Euro 2024 semi-finals in store, the team run the rule over Spain-France and Netherlands-England.&nbsp; Tomás is nervous about La Roja's chances against tournament heavyweights France, while Alex explains why their boss Didier Deschamps is in a punchy mood.&nbsp; From one turgid side to another, it all comes down to Wednesday night for Gareth Southgate's England. The mood has changed since other semi-final appearances in recent years, so how are the guys feeling about the Three Lions' chances of making just a second final in 58 years? 0:00: Introduction1:15: Clash of styles in Spain v France9:17: In Gareth we trust?16:19: Alex and Tomas predict the semi-finals18:55: Sticker Cup (R12) X: <a href="https://x.com/EuroZoneShow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://x.com/EuroZoneShow</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eurozonefootballshow/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/eurozonefootballshow/</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558993480514" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558993480514</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@EuroZoneFootballShow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@EuroZoneFootballShow</a> Logo by Alex BarkerMusic by John Luke

Can Deschamps derail the Spain hype train?

A delighted Alec, Tomás and Alex unpack a thrilling few days of quarter-final action.&nbsp; It’s a redemption arc for Bukayo Saka as England hold their nerve from the penalty spot against Switzerland. Were the Three Lions worthy of that win, or are they just plain lucky? Who floundered and who flourished in Gareth Southgate’s new system? We analyse their next opponents, the Netherlands, before dissecting Spain’s dramatic win over Germany.

Dutch in dreamland after Ronaldo's nightmare

There's only one name on everybody's lips after Sunday's Euro 2024 action: Jude Bellingham. Who else? Alec, Tomás and Alex discuss the England star's remarkable stoppage-time goal — and his response to critics in the press room afterwards. With the Three Lions through to a quarter-final, can Gareth Southgate take any credit for the dramatic comeback against Slovakia? And how should he tinker with his team for the upcoming tie with Switzerland? Elsewhere, Spain dazzle with their own 4-1 comeback win against Georgia and Tomás waxes lyrical about their two star wingers. Alex prepares for a trip to Munich for his own last 16 adventure and we preview the rest of the round — with France-Belgium the pick of the bunch. 0:00: England bounce back and Bellingham bites back12:22: Spain's star wingers impress again17:44: Switzerland sweep aside dismal Italy19:38: Musiala dazzles for VAR-assisted Germany21:53: France v Belgium and the rest of the last 16 previewed25:40: Sticker Cup R8 X: <a href="https://x.com/EuroZoneShow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://x.com/EuroZoneShow</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eurozonefootballshow/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/eurozonefootballshow/</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558993480514" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558993480514</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@EuroZoneFootballShow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@EuroZoneFootballShow</a> Logo by Alex BarkerMusic by John Luke
