Summary

The Euro 2025 group stage is over. And on the final day, England cruised past Wales 6-1 to clinch a place in the quarterfinals, with France going through as Group D winners after a chaotic 5-2 thrashing of the Netherlands.


On the third edition of Full Time Euros, host Jillian Sakovits is joined by Tamerra Griffin and Ali Rampling to break down the final round of group stage matches and say goodbye to the eight nations heading home after 12 breathless days of international soccer.


What does it mean for Aitana Bonmati to be back starting for Spain? Why do Sweden have the best fans? And, what made Switzerland's qualifying night so special?


Charlotte Harpur also calls into the podcast from St. Gallen, to report on how head coach Sarina Wiegman and her England players reacted to their big win over Wales, and what life has been like inside the camp in Zurich.
