The world’s biggest super friendly – aka the Community Shield – is here and Kevin De Bruyne has grown a man bun to celebrate the occasion. Marcus, Jim and Pete, on the other hand, are celebrating the occasion by spreading Luke Shaw conspiracy theories. Elsewhere, Marcus and Pete question whether Jim is a pickpocket working for Mikel Arteta and we pay tribute to the great Pepe after his retirement. Oh, and if you think the conspiracy theories are bad, just wait until you hear Pete’s story about gerbils…. We're back on stage and tickets are out NOW!

Jonny Pringle joins James to discuss all things Manchester City and their FPL assets as they bid for a fifth successive Premier League title. But there's a growing number of neutrals who think this might not be their season. Obviously Erling Haaland is covered, Jonny's initial reaction to the 15.0 price was to consider going without, but following the weekend pre-season hat-trick against GW1 opponents Chelsea how does he feel now? There's debate on Kevin De Bruyne versus Phil Foden at 9.5, the exciting emergence of 5.0 Oscar Bobb and his likely minutes, whether Josko Gvardiol is an auto pick at 6.0 and if there are preferences or desires across the players priced at 5.5 in defence and 6.5 midfield. Plus, will the departing Julian Alvarez be replaced, if Ederson is expected to stay and if City may remain surprisingly quiet during this transfer window despite some feeling a refresh is required.

A very late goal puts France through to a quarter-final against Portugal after a weird and frustrating game.

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander and Jay Harris into the studio after France and Portugal set up a quarter-final date in dramatic fashion. Portugal overcome Slovenia on penalties after a 0-0 draw that revolves around Cristiano Ronaldo and his obsession with scoring. How much longer can Roberto Martinez indulge his captain and how annoyed must his team-mates be? France need a late own goal to see off Belgium as they still wait for one of their own players to score from open play. Julien Laurens tells us why Didier Deschamps won’t be changing his approach any time soon. And Tuesday sees the last day of last 16 action. Andreas Heidenreich explains what makes this Austria side so special as they aim to make it all the way to the final. Produced by Charlie Jones. Theme music by JJ Bull. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Portugal progress past Slovenia with Matt Slater (02.00) • PART 2: France 1-0 Belgium with Julien Laurens (21.00) • PART 3a: Austria v Turkey preview with Andreas Heidenreich (31.00) • PART 3b: Netherlands v Romania preview (38.00) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC TODAY FOR £1 A MONTH FOR 12 MONTHS • theathletic.com/totally Hosted on Acast.

Musa and Ryan chat about Portugal’s win over Slovenia to set up a quarterfinal against fellow 2016 finalists France (02:20).

France got past Belgium thanks to an 85th-minute own goal from Jan Vertonghen (14:55), and there’s a quick shout for Spain’s impressive win over Georgia.
