We analyse what went wrong for England as they were thoroughly outclassed by Luis de la Fuente's side, before looking back on Southgate's reign as a whole. What legacy does he leave? What are our favourites moments from his tenure? And, crucially, who should replace him?

There's even time to dish out a few Euro Zone awards in recognition of the players who have made the last four weeks in Germany so special...

Alec, Tomás and Alex analyse the Three Lions’ chances against a fearsome-looking Spain side. Do La Roja have any weak points? Should Gareth Southgate tinker with his starting XI? And are England peaking at just the right time?

We break down that finish, whether we owe Gareth Southgate an apology and some controversial refereeing decisions from that game. There's also a look back at Spain's brilliant semi-final win over France, with debates about whose goal was better out of Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo and whether Kylian Mbappé is becoming a problem for Les Bleus.

Tomás is nervous about La Roja's chances against tournament heavyweights France, while Alex explains why their boss Didier Deschamps is in a punchy mood. 

From one turgid side to another, it all comes down to Wednesday night for Gareth Southgate's England. The mood has changed since other semi-final appearances in recent years, so how are the guys feeling about the Three Lions' chances of making just a second final in 58 years?

There’s praise for Jude Bellingham’s brilliant header to get the Three Lions off the mark against Serbia, but will there be problems further ahead? 

Elsewhere, Spain make Tomás look very silly indeed by putting three past Croatia and Albania prove Alec right in saying they are here for “a good time not a long time”. The group also look ahead to Monday and Tuesday’s tantalising games — and Alex is given an unwanted nickname…

Belgium are expected to breeze through, but could one of Ukraine, Romania or Slovakia take advantage of an open group? Alec thinks Ukraine's young talent might pull them through.

In Group F, it's all about Portugal's attacking stars — led by Cristiano Ronaldo. But will CR7's presence tank his team's chances? Georgia have their own star winger in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Vincenzo Montella is rebuilding his managerial career with Turkey and Alex says it could be a tough tournament for the Czech Republic.

Alex and Tomás are also pitted against each other in a brand new sticker game... who will prevail?

Alex is worried about England's centre-back options, Alec thinks Denmark are still packed full of talented players and we find out about the Serbia manager's intriguing nickname. There's a lot of love for Slovenia forward Benjamin Sesko, who Tomás says will be in the shop window this summer.

Kylian Mbappé heads up France's stars, but they could be pushed by the Netherlands in Group D — if Ronald Koeman's defensively excellent side can find someone to score the goals. Poland have no problem with that — as long as Robert Lewandowski is playing. Meanwhile, Alec lets us in on an unusual motivational present from Austria coach Ralf Rangnick to his players.

In Group A, Germany are spying home glory under Julian Nagelsmann, Scotland will be looking to Scott McTominay to fire them through while Hungary and Switzerland will fancy their chances of reaching the knockouts. 

Meanwhile in Group B, Tomás is concerned about Spain’s fortunes, Alex isn't much more optimistic about Italy and Alec can’t get enough of Albania. But could Luka Modric and Co have a last dance in them for Croatia?
