Portugal thrash Slovenia… on pens

And it was enough to bring tears to (some people’s) eyes. Pete, Andy and Jim relive a dramatic night for Portugal which saw them escape calamity and Slovenia miss out on history. Meanwhile, we’re pretty sure Cristiano Ronaldo is still in the stadium smashing free kicks into the stands.

We discuss why Bobby Martinez should use Ronaldo sparingly in the next game. Plus, those French slugs bag another own goal to beat Belgium in the Fries Derby and Jude Bellingham faces questions from UEFA’s busy bodies.

We're back on stage and tickets are out NOW! Join us at London Palladium on Friday September 20th 2024 for 'Football Ramble: Time Tunnel', a journey through football history like no other.
