Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams to recap a busy day of action at Euro 2024.
France get the job done in a tight 1-0 victory over Austria – but it wasn’t particularly pretty from Mbappé and co – who’s tournament *could* be in jeopardy after breaking his nose…
A beleaguered Belgium saw TWO Romelu Lukaku goals disallowed as they were stunned in a 1-0 defeat by Slovakia.
Meanwhile, Romania returned to the Euros in style with a 3-0 thrashing of Ukraine – back on this stage for the first time since 2016 AND recording their biggest ever win in the competition. Romanian football expert Emanuel Roşu reflects on a seismic day in Munich.
Plus – we get an inside look at expectations for the Czech Republic facing Portugal and Georgia taking on Turkey as the first round of group games comes to a close on Tuesday. Journalists Karel Häring and Nika Kevkhishvili are on hand to help us preview those Group F clashes.
