Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our review of the Euro 22ndi.

Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our review of the final day of the Euro 2024 group stage.

Belgium were unconvincing as they extended their Euro stay while Ukraine were sent home in the saddest possible way.

Slovakia and Romania both were in the knockouts too after getting the draw they both knew would get them through.

Turkey are threw after doing the hard yards in a match against Checha that featured a ridiculous amount of cards.

And Georgia got a historic win that was long awaited as the positive mood in the Portugal camp evaporated.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me today, your friend of mine, Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan Bailey. Do you feel better about England now that several other teams have not managed to reach their potential, or are you still feeling a little bit concerned? I'm feeling slightly ambivalent about the tournament as a whole. Maybe it's not just an England thing. We can talk about that later maybe, Taylor. I'm having a slight crisis tonight. It's going to be a good show. It's going to be a good show. But let's talk about the positive stuff first, including the fact that Graham Rathman is here. Hello, Graham. Hello, Ryan. How are you? Did you manage to stay drier than I did for Slovakia, Romania? Or did you watch that one by the pond to do? Yeah, Jeeves spilled a cup of tea on me while I was next to the pond. It was a disaster, Graham. It was a disaster, I'm afraid. Servants were on their lunch break as well, and they had to clean it up, and they took over, like, 90 seconds to arrive. Yeah, I've been there, Ryan. You can't get the staff these days, Graham. That's all I have to say. Also here, Joe Lowry. Hello, Joe. Ryan in the Pond is one of my favorite bits that I think we've ever done. I mean, it's obviously not a bit. Obviously, all very, very real. But if it were to be a bit, I would really enjoy it. Today is a good day.

I went to Greg Berlthers press conference prior to the Panama game, got to see Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Alex Morgan was left off the U.S. Women's National Team roster for the Olympics. Just lots of boxes checked. Nothing, of course, against Alex Morgan, but it was time to move on. Indeed. Indeed. Yes, we'll get to the Cop America and perhaps a little bit of that USWNT roster later on, Joseph.

But for now, we're going to focus on the Euros.

Actually, for now, we're going to focus on Patreon.com slash total soccer show,

which is, fun fact, the best way to support this podcast.

Bonus podcast episodes on their bonus video and access to our discord going on the podcast feed the bonus podcast feed for tsss plus very soon we're going to be looking into the last

16 of the euros in detail joe's going to make some predictions because joe is joe predictions

never misses any mistakes at all ever let's move. All right, let's get to it then. Group E of the Euro's. All teams finishing on four points, the first time that's ever happened in the competition's history. Bit of a sad one for Ukraine there, nil-nil-nil draw draw with Belgium made them fail to progress, the first team

to fail to progress, with four points. A bit harsh, Graham, that they got more than Denmark,

who went through in second place, some points. Although, I mean, they lost their open to three-nil to

Romania, so it's quite hard to come back from that, to be fair. Belgium, meanwhile, in the

tin tin kits, not too much to write home about, I would say, their own fans during them

in frustration at all time, during Kevin de Broiner on the field during a post-match interview as

well. Where do we start with this one, Graham? Is it, okay, let me put this to you, debate style.

Bobby Martinez, maybe not so bad. Discuss.
