The EURO 2024 group stage is done and dusted, and the tournament's sudden-death phase is upon us. It's the Round of 16, with SWITZERLAND vs ITALY and GERMANY vs DENMARK on Saturday, ENGLAND-SLOVAKIA and SPAIN vs GEORGIA on Sunday, FRANCE vs BELGIUM and PORTUGAL vs SLOVENIA on Monday, and finally, ROMANIA vs the NETHERLANDS and AUSTRIA-TURKIYE on Tuesday.

Joining us this week to preview the knockout rounds is @RoryTalksFootball, who returns to the show to offer some of the same insight he serves up to hundreds of thousands of followers across TikTok and beyond every single day. We of course touched on England's woes and the trials of Gareth Southgate, the power of Germany and Spain, the weakness of Belgium and France, the value of quality coaching for Austria and Switzerland, and whether a lack thereof could cost the Netherlands and Portugal. Or is Cristiano Ronaldo what will hold the Portuguese back?
