The supercomputer has chimed in on the Euros semi-finals and Luke and John Cross are NOT happy. Marcus, Luke and Andy preview Spain vs France tonight and try to figure out if Les Bleus can really grind Spain down with this whole 'not scoring goals' thing. We also give some deserved attention for one of the best football narratives in recent times: 38-year-old Jesús Navas being tasked with keeping Kylian Mbappé quiet. In more confusing events, the BBC double down on their 'Misstiano Penaldo' graphic, much to the fury of Cristiano Ronaldo's legion of fanboys, while French media spy on their own team. Come join us!

With the Premier League TV selections confirmed for August and September, Suj and James discuss thoughts for Sky Fantasy planning and assess which clubs Fantasy managers will 'need' coverage of and which clubs will be 'wanted'. (Yes you can listen to this at any point in the next month if you want to revisit it!) There's a surprising lack of single gamedays in the opening 6 matchweeks, James details why this is the case and what it means on early transfer count usage; there's discussion on potential early gains and why some players will appeal over others as we approach the season kick off on August 16th.

How do we feel about a team playing poorly throughout an entire tournament and still going on to win it? These are the ethical footballing questions we are forced to ask ourselves as England and France find their way into the Euro semifinals. Plus, Brazil look lost without Vinicius but perhaps even moreso, without Neymar. And would Andrew really bench Lionel Messi for attempting a Panenka? All that and much much more! ***OH BY THE WAY...
