Marcus, Luke and Pete pile into the studio after Morocco only bloomin’ went and did the Spanish! How’s Luis Enrique going to Twitch about this one… We discuss why the Spanish keep coming unstuck, why Samuel Eto’o kneed a man in the head, and why Portugal were so, so much better without Ronaldo. We also celebrate two forces that have been with us since the dawn of time – Pepe and Wayne Rooney. Wazza is just the gift that keeps on giving. Pete’s Film Club is back!
