| 0:02.7 | Hello, I'm Dan Bardell, welcome to the England show podcast from The Athletic. |
| 0:22.6 | England walloped Ukraine 4-0, a result that really was never in doubt, and now they require |
| 0:28.0 | just two home wins to clinch Euroglora. Joining me as dawn breaks in England on this glorious |
