NOTE: Following the recording of this episode, UEFA confirmed that Merih Demiral would receive a two-game ban for his gesture.
It's the round of 16 on Euromeister 24! The three Alexs look at Italy's not-so-shocking exit to Switzerland, Türkiye's win over previous tournament darlings Austria, an eventual game between Germany and Denmark, and complain about England's incredibly uninspiring performance against Slovakia. The Ronaldo problem is discussed as Portugal just edge past Slovenia, the Netherlands sweep past Romania, and Spain are still favourites after comfortably beating Georgia. Also on the pod: controversy at the Copa America, Sir Mark Cavendish, and why the podcast suddenly descended into a conversation about Cars 3.
