You could argue that France's approach in the Euro 16 final was right, it just wasn't right enough. It was also completely unnecessary. The two Mikes break down the final, remind you that the latest international tournament wasn't so bad (and you'll be excited about the next), and then spend some time breaking down how they evaluate managers. With club seasons approaching, they also ask: Why was the Premier League so weird last season? And will it be weird again? ...

It's France vs Portugal in the final and we look at what this means for Michel Platini, discuss a worrying Harry Redknapp related wording and hear about Pete's far more worrying ideas about what is and what isn't actionable.Visit us at thefootballramble.com, follow us on Twitter @footballramble and like us on Facebook at facebook.com/footballramble.

The two Mikes keep riding with Portugal (who, along with Ronaldo, is getting a bad wrap), while Wales made Caley look prescient, Germany vs. Italy wasn't the chess match we were looking for, and Iceland's dream died an honorable death. Plus: Will Germany be able to adapt with so many missing pieces against France, and can Wales keep the miracle run going against Portugal? Learn more about your ad choices.
