Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, David Walker and Nick Miller march into the Euro 2020 quarter-finals as they examine the more peculiar aspects of the coverage of England's win over Germany, from Harry Maguire's curious dribbling technique to Harry Kane "running his socks into the ground".
Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel examine the marketing speak of the new Premier League ball, navigate the legal minefield of the phrase "man of the match" and decide what the threshold is for a "thumping".
