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.

Netherlands Argentina madness, Slaven Bilic stops by and England France is 50/50
Jimbo, Tim Spiers and Sasha Goryunov gather their thoughts after an incredible day of quarter-final action in Qatar.
Argentina overcome the Netherlands on penalties after a game that features comebacks, late drama, the pass of the tournament and the free-kick of the tournament.
Messi and co will face Croatia in the semi-finals after they defeat Brazil in a shootout. Slaven Bilic joins us in the studio to detail what makes his country so effective at team sports.
Saturday’s quarter-finals see Morocco look to make history as the first African nation to reach the last 4. And it’s England v France, with the Three Lions looking to unseat the defending champions. Julien Laurens gives us the French perspective.
