Summary
Jimbo is accompanied by Tom Williams, Jay Harris and many more after an exciting day and dull night of Euro action.
England top Group C but only after another insipid display and a 0-0 with Slovenia. Is there any chance of them turning this form around? And do Southgate’s substitutions show that he doesn’t have the answers?
Elsewhere Austria win a thriller with the Dutch to sensationally top Group D at the expense of France, thanks to Lewandowski’s double stutter. Julien Laurens highlights the issues facing Didier Deschamps now.
Plus we look ahead to Wednesday’s action where Ukraine look to inspire again
Produced by Charlie Jones.
Theme music by JJ Bull.
