| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Sky Sports Football Podcast brought to you by Bet365, where every nail-biting |
| 0:05.7 | nil-nil, every bizarre VAR, every foregone conclusion, bad pass, slam dunk, tap-in, full-start, |
| 0:13.3 | dead heat and absolutely expected defeat is amazing. |
| 0:17.3 | From football to tennis and ice hockey to motorsport. |
| 0:25.1 | Whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at Bet365. |
| 0:44.2 | Welcome to the latest Sky Sports Euros podcast with me, Kate Balaga, serving up a quick knockout stage digest from the first two last 16 games. |
| 0:46.8 | Well, Italy are through to the quarterfinals. |
| 0:51.3 | Just, we'll talk the Azuri later, but Wales adventure is over. |
| 0:56.1 | They were thrashed 4-0 in the end by Denmark. And here to pick through the disappointment is Sky Sports News, Geraint Hughes. Geraint, thanks for joining us again. Promising start |

| 1:35.7 | and gets a couple of extra goals and it didn't obviously help with the sending off of Harry Wilson |
| 1:40.7 | as well so it probably ended badly I think probably a very comfortable 2-0 victory for that Denmark would have maybe |
| 1:48.2 | been probably a fairer result. |
| 1:51.1 | But, you know, Denmark were good. |
| 1:55.5 | You know, Wales, I thought Wales were like purring nicely that first 15, 20 minutes. |
| 2:00.4 | The way they were knocking the ball around, you know, before Gareth Bell's shot, |
| 2:04.2 | which went narrowly wide, the way that they were catching in the ball around, |
