On Tuesday, it’s the Euro crew with James Horncastle and Raphael Honigstein looking at matters across the continent. And on Thursday, Duncan Alexander brings the silliness and numbers.

Japan shock Germany and Spain smash Costa Rica
Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander and Sasha Goryunov into the studio on Day 4 of the World Cup.
The less said about Morocco versus Croatia the better but after that there were some amazing games.

Spain smacked Costa Rica for seven. Is this just a lovely day out for La Roja or the start of something more?

And we look ahead to Thursday’s action as Jose Delgado talks to us about the prospects for Portugal against Ghana.
