Well, there we are: the two tournament's best teams made the Euro 2020 final, where England fell at the final hurdle. Marcus, Luke and Vish settle in for a pensive postmortem, as England were beaten by a better team after more penalty shoot-out heartbreak.

After fifty matches and 140 goals, the tournament's two best teams remain standing - and Gareth Southgate's England are one of them. Kate, Luke and Vish look ahead to what should be a cracking final, with intriguing and potentially pivotal individual battles across the pitch. We also take a moment to consider the generational impact this team has had on the country and see just how far a group of nice guys can go.

Alexi and Mosse open the show with a preview of the Copa America final and talk about how good Messi has looked with Argentina, his last chance to win an international trophy, and how Neymar and Brazil stack up against Argentina. (08:02). The guys then talk about the EURO 2020 semifinals match between Spain and Italy; La Roja dazzled but could not score. Italy reverts to the traditional style for the victory, and is it coming home for England? (29:22). They discuss MLS such as Toronto FC firing Chris Armas, Seattle’s unbeaten run, Galaxy losing game, and Chicharito, and looked at USMNT’s/Mexico’s rosters for the upcoming Gold Cup (40:45). In #AskAlexi, fans ask why American media heavily advertise Neymar and Messi over Brazil and Argentina, the latest ruling in favor of college athletes, and one fan suggests it’s time to dump penalty kicks to decide tournament games (1:05:14). Finally, Alexi caps the show with his “One for the Road,” a shoutout to Angel City FC (1:19:54). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

One half the tournament ledger has been finalised, with Giorgio Chiellini's ragtag bunch of renegades advancing to the final at Spain's expense. Kate, Andy and Jim spare a thought for Álvaro Morata, who slid past Gianluigi Donnarumma with one shot and then blew his foot off with another. We also look ahead to England's semi-final against Denmark, as Gareth's gang singlehandedly restore a measured and genuine pride in the England national team. G'wan England!

Marcus, Andy and Jim are as batshit giddy as you'd expect after England sauntered past Ukraine with a casual wave of Harry Maguire's massive bonce.

Kate, Pete and Jim settle in after Italy took the sheen off Belgium's golden generation thanks to a heady cocktail of swashbuckling shithousery - it's great to see. Spain's 1476 attacks only yielded one goal in the other quarter-final, but were saved by Switzerland's torrid attempts in the shootout.

Tottenham's search for their new manager has come to an end, almost exactly where it began two months ago. Nuno Espírito Santo, come on down! Kate, Andy and Pete also check in on a few other managerial moves, as Rafa Benítez crosses Stanley Park and Frank de Boer stepped down from the Netherlands role “in anticipation of the evaluation”. Presumably, the evaluation will be that he's had a mare from start to finish. We'll be releasing even more shows throughout the Euros!

Kate, Vish and Pete charge into the studio after one of the greatest days in international tournament history - even Álvaro Morata got involved! France papered over substantial cracks with a brief flurry of attacking brilliance - with Karim Benzema and Paul Pogba showcasing their endless class - before somehow losing to Switzerland.

The group stages reached their final crescendo last night, with Hungary kicked out of the party despite giving the big boys a run for their money. With that, Cristiano Ronaldo closes in on immortality and Germany deal themselves a knockout game against England - even as Joachim Löw still shuffles his pack.

Welcome to Episode 49 of Glory Days of Gold. The fourth, and what is now sadly our final, of our Euro 2020 specials.The dream is over. Scotland returned to a major tournament for the first time in 23 years and it was like we had never left, as they failed to make it out of the group stages again and all the hopes were left lying in tatters following a 3-1 loss to a much better Croatia side, all made even worse by not doing it on home soil at Hampden.So while there's pride at the performance against England, and some fighting spirit shown in all three games, ultimately we struggled from not having a deadly finisher that could take the chances that were being created. Was that the main difference between qualifying or not or was it Scotland's shape, tactics, and team selections that let them down? How big a loss was Billy Gilmour? And were we just all swept up in the emotional rollercoaster of just being there and simply outplayed?Kenny Deuchar joins Lee, Doug, and Gordon to look at all of that and more, and ponder what's next for the Scotland national team and who should be the players to try and get us to Qatar next year?

It wasn’t Nirvana for England last night, but thanks to everyone’s adorable little brother and a pair of magnificent calves it was good enough! Marcus, Luke and Jim react to England’s surprisingly dignified scramble for top spot and Scotland’s heartbreak against Luke Modrić and his merry men.

Dan Bardell reunites the Sunday night England Show podcast team of Flo Lloyd-Hughes and Carl Anka to review another 1-0 win for England. Gareth Southgate's side finished top of Group D with seven points and three clean sheets. Jordan Henderson and Harry Maguire got valuable match minutes, and surprise starter Bukayo Saka gave an excellent performance. Yet, there were still moans. It wasn't the most eventful second half, and Harry Kane looked a little sluggish again. So, have we got what it takes to beat France, Germany, or Portugal? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Matt Davies Adams, Tom Williams, and Daniel Storey are here as England top Group D and as Scotland bid farewell to their first tournament in 23 years. So Scotland are out but what does it mean? We ask The Athletic's Jordan Campbell who's live at Hampden for his reflections on a heartbreaking night for the Tartan Army. More positive scenes over at Wembley though, well for 12 minutes anyway, as Sterling netted again and England top the group and look at facing, erm, France/Germany/Portugal/Hungary! Speaking of which tomorrow is today and today is the last day of the group stages, and there are still two groups to sort out. Namely Group E and F where it's looking concerning for Spain and rather brighter for Germany. All that plus we hit a few bum notes.

Bloody hell Denmark. Bloody hell. Jules, Luke and Jim react to an epic night in Copenhagen which had it all: thunderbastards, bandaged leaders and the most extraordinary comeback story. We also hail the Finns for their brave showing against those bothersome Belgians, who might just whip the trophy out of England’s hands despite Gareth Southgate engineering a genius progression to the last 16.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't halt a resurgent German performance that's put die katzen amongst the pigeons in Group F. Marcus, Jim and Pete also offer a shoulder for Álvaro Morata to lean on, as he followed up his first tournament goal with a shoddy miss and then got substituted.

Marcus, Luke and Pete couldn't construct any clear-cut chances in the studio, so we've left the mics on and Jack Grealish is going to have a go. England's underwhelming performance contrasted with an impressive Scottish effort, who now have a good chance of qualifying after last night's draw.
