Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, David Walker and Charlie Eccleshare debate some more Euro 2020 minutiae, including the language of tournament exits, the latest status of England-squad clamouring, and the definitive ranking of all 24 Euros nations' demonyms (it's bad news for "the Austrians", good news for "the Czechs" and mixed news for "the Portuguese" and "the Swiss"...)
Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel explore the best-by date for the words "newly promoted" before two-thirds of the biggest mystery in football are finally revealed to the world.
