Hello and welcome to the Tifo Football Podcast. I'm Joe Devine, and today I'm joined by

Seb Stafford Bloor. You sure are, Joe Devine. How are you? We're tired, aren't we?

Yeah, it feels like we've been here for about a month. It's only actually been six days. Is that

kind of weird? I feel like I've always been here. And JJ Bull, who wasn't here yesterday, but I'm glad he's back. Hi, JJ. It's nice to be back. Is it? Yes. That's good. You have fun today? Yes, had a great time. I watched all the football. And we were outside the office sometimes. And then others were inside the office. Yeah. It was a good mix. It was a good mix of outside and in, wasn't it? What was your favourite game today?

I feel outside the office sometimes. And then others were inside the office. Yeah. It was a good mix. It was a good mix of outside and in, wasn't it? What was your favorite game today?

My favorite game, I think, was talking about the mallard, the potential new Batman villain.

Yeah, that's true, the mallard. It was the game where we...

That's the sort of the mallard. What does the mallard do? Not really anything, but if you feed it too much bread, it dies. That's the mallard. Right, anyway, we'll be talking about Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Ukraine, North Macedonia and Tottenham, would you believe it? Plus, we've got JJ today and not tomorrow, so we'll do a little bit of Scotland previewing ahead of the England game, because England will probably win, and then we'll only talk about them. So it only seems fair to do that bit now, doesn't it? Yeah. But also, can I remind you that if you haven't already, I would encourage you to subscribe to The Athletic. Now, the athletic is probably the best place online for you to read about football and indeed 10 other sports,

I should say. Lots of American sports there, too, plus boxing. I don't know if you classify

that as an American sport, because you wouldn't, because it's... Global sport. It's a global sport.

But other sports are available. And some of the best writers

in the world on those things. In fact, you read a piece earlier that you've really liked, didn't you, JJ?

I did. It was about Memphis to Pie. It's called Memphis to Pye, from a lost soul of Manchester

to the Netherlands's leading light. It's great. It's a lot of insight detail

but when you moved to Manchester United

why that went wrong,

why it's subsequently gone well.

And I'm going to stop talking

in that particular pattern.

That's the only way I can talk

from now on.

Well, he did lead away a bit today.
