Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and Nick Miller hit peak Euros-previewing by putting together their fantasy European Championships tournament - the best format, the best ball, the best official mascot, the best TV theme tune, the dream punditry lineup and the most iconic winning team.
They also discuss a charming cricket/football crossover, Marcelo Bielsa's classy touch, John Motson on trains and a very worrying pronunciation of Ireland's Euro 1988 goalkeeper's surname.
