Is it coming home? We'll see, as Mark Critchley (@mjcritchley) joins to talk about their tournament run that has them on the brink of the final. We talk about Southgate's superb man management, Raheem Sterling's remarkable turnaround, the system that has Rice and Phillips purring, Jordan Pickford's renewed image, why Rice and Grealish have well and truly moved on and the cultural impact this team could leave off the field. (from 35min)

Elsewhere, the lads recap the quarter-finals including Spain's misfiring attack and shaky lefty defence, Italy's immense sh*thousery, Belgium's end of the road and Denmark showing they can do the dirty work.

Ep 49: Final Four & Football's Coming Home

And then there were two...

Kevin, Enda and Phil unpack everything from the two semi-finals, including Spain's super performance, incredible Chiesa, Chiellini's psychological warfare and the sports psychologist's dream that is Alvaro Morata.

On the other side, we pay tribute to Denmark and their tournament run after the trauma of Finland, enjoy Mikkel Damsgaard's delicious free-kick, discuss the penalty fiasco and England becoming the baddies, consider Sterling for Player of the Tournament and preview the big final on Sunday.
