Summary

Jimbo welcomes the esteemed panel of James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Daniel Storey to take a look at the big hitters at Euro 2024.

Has England’s moment arrived with the talent at Gareth Southgate’s disposal? Or is he not the right man to make the most of that talent tactically?

Are France the only team that can beat France? Or do Portugal have the strongest squad at the tournament?

Elsewhere, we’re looking forward to seeing a Spain side with a different dimension of exciting young wide players. And will Italy’s good record at the Euros in the 21st century continue?

Plus how Toni Kroos has changed everything for Germany and can Xavi Simons become a star for the Netherlands?

Produced by Charlie Jones.
