The Guardian

Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly. England won Croatian Il Rheim Sterling's

second half strike, means England win their opening game in a European championship

for the first time ever. An England have never not won the Euros when they've won their

first game. Oh go, it's coming home. Calvin Phillips excels in midfield. Tyrone

Mings excellent in a back full with two right backs. The clamor for Jack Grelish unheard

will analyse it all elsewhere. Game of the tournament so far as the Netherlands beat

Ukraine 3-2 and Goran Pandev scores for North Macedonia. But it's not enough as David

Alaba leads Austria to victory and Marco Anatovich is very angry about the whole thing.

We'll have the latest on Christian Ericsson. Answer your questions. Read some quite self-indulgent

complimentary messages and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

On the panel today, Paul McKinnis, how you doing? I'm very good Max. How are you? Is

that a Stephen Gerard 2010 England shirt? Yeah, I can't be sure. I can't even remember

whether it's 2006 or 2010. It's wonderful too. Good to represent Jonathan Wilson. Hello.

All right. How you doing? Yeah, I'm good. Thank you. And Barley Roney, welcome to the

pod. Hello. Ross says what's the biggest number on the hubris meter? I think 14, dial it

right up. Mark says what's the best parade route for the trophy? Just London or visiting

a few major cities. Martin says which font does Barry think would best suit the word England

when it's put on the trophy at the end of the tournament? Is he a Times New Roman guy?

And Justin said if anything, have England started the tournament too well? Barney, you were

there. How was it? Yeah, it was good. They were good, I thought. I mean, it was kind of

interesting. Wembley was great. I think you were in the vicinity today, is that right?
