Summary
Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Alyson Rudd, James Gheerbrant and Ian Hawkey.
Germany have turned up - but did Portugal make it way too easy for them? Is Kai Havertz finally showing why he’s a £71m player? (00:00)
France didn’t show why a lot of people have them as favourites for the tournament as they stumbled to a draw against Hungary. Do they need to give Olivier Giroud a chance up front? What do Spain need to do to turn their fortunes around after a disappointing performance against Poland? (11:28)
Wales face Italy in Rome later - but will Rob Page rest players or, given they’ll get a game at Wembley if they win the group - could they go for it? (26:38)
Today’s results:
Hungary 1-1 France
Portugal 2-4 Germany
Spain 1-1 Poland
