The Athletic.

Hello, I'm Mark Chapman.

Welcome to the England show on The Athletic.

Coming up today, we will look ahead to England's Euro 2020, Last 16, Thai, Flo Lloyd Hughes, Dan Bardell and the Athletic. Coming up today, we will look ahead to England's Euro 2020,

last 16 tie. Flo Lloyd Hughes, Dan Bardell, and the Athletics England correspondent Jack Pitt

Brooke are with us. Previous areas we've always talked about the past and teams and their records

and baggage and everything else. And there's no reason for these boys to feel that way.

Most weren't born when a lot of those games happened.

It's an irrelevance for them.

So I think we're all looking forward to the game tomorrow.

We know it's a fantastic game to be involved in

and a real opportunity for us to progress to a quarter

final. A big opponent with excellent pedigree and great experience but again we're really

looking forward to. So with Dan and Flo and Jack we've got a really good spread of ages on today's pod.

So the best place to start is actually with what England, Germany means to you.

Dan?

Probably my first experience of real, real pain in football in your own 86.

And then I feel like maybe I feel like since then I feel like it's worse than it actually

is because I can actually think of a few times we've beaten them, I think of Euro 2000,

but then that joy is then followed on by pain because Phil never gives a penalty way

in the last minute of the last group game in England go out anyway.

So even when we do well against Germany, it feels like pain follows.
