Summary
Jimbo welcomes Michael Cox and Duncan Alexander into the pod after a day of illuminating action at the Euros.
Czech Republic hog the headlines by eliminating the Netherlands in the first shock of the last 16. But are they still the weakest team in the competition? And can Frank De Boer be blamed for the crazy mistakes of his players?
Number 1 ranked Belgium knock out holders Portugal, in a game signposted by selfishness and stroppiness. And it’s time to bust the myth that Ronaldo is good at free-kicks.
It’s another big day of action. Juraj Vrdoljak tells us whether Croatia fear Spain, the team that inflicted their heaviest defeat ever. And Julien Laurens previews France v Switzerland, as Pogba looks to build on his position as perhaps the player of the tournament so far.
Plus we appreciate Balotelli, Cassano and Prandelli 9 years on.

• PART 1: Netherlands 0-2 Czech Republic with Karel Haring (03m 30s)
