Hello, this is international football commentator Derek Ray, and you're listening welcome to Ranks FC.

It's your favourite football podcast back for another week

and back to discuss two of the main competitions in world football,

taking place simultaneously on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

My name is Jack Collins and I'll be your host today and joining me, Mr. Dean Jones.

How you doing, mate?

I'm good, mate.

Yeah, we've got summer arrived, doesn't it, in England.

So that's been nice.

It's quite hot right now, but I'm not going to complain at all because I've been waiting for this for weeks.

I'm sticky.

It's probably how it's sticky today. It's sticky out. But you know, as you say,

can't complain. I'm off to Glastonbury tomorrow. So I'm underprepared, you say. I am deeply, woefully underprepared. Spending a week in Germany at the Euros three days before you have to go to Glastonbury is not ideal preparation but it is what

it is I've had a wonderful time I'm not complaining so I'm just enjoying these two weeks of

it's a nice life we've got a good knife a lot nice life right yeah absolutely it's good I can't

complain so I'm very very excited and but before we go anywhere and before I pop off to see some music, we are going to talk

about the Euros and the Copper. We've picked out three big questions from either competition

that we're going to address on today's episode. Would you reckon, should we start copper?

Should we start Euros?

Honestly, I'm really interested to hear about the copper, but I think that right now the

euros is probably the place to start because it feels more alive right now.

I think it's what the people would want.
