Luke Jordan and Macdara Ferris chat through the Euros quarter-finals from Friday and Saturday and Macdara’s experience of watching Spain v Germany ahead of reporting on the Portugal v France game in Hamburg and of following the England v Switzerland penalty shootout on TV in the press box in Berlin’s Olympiastadion ahead of the Dutch win over Türkiye.
We have some post-match audio with Ronald Koeman and player of the match Stefan de Vrij answering Macdara's question about his goal that helped the Dutch to their first Euros semi-final for 20 years.
There is Ronaldo failing to follow the statistical protocol for penalty shoot-outs and choosing to go second, Gareth Southgate’s marginal gains for England – always going first in shoot-out if coin toss allows, not rushing to take a spot kick straight after the referee’s whistle - and Jordan Pickford’s water bottle fine print.
There is where to not go in Hamburg (anywhere east of the train station), the delights of Potsdam on a sunny summer Sunday afternoon and putting the boot in on Roberto Martinez.
