Jimbo is back with Tim Spiers and Colin Millar for company after the first two quarter-finals go the distance at Euro 2024. It’s not an easy watch but France are in the semi-finals after progressing past Portugal on penalties. Charlotte Harpur is feeling optimistic about the French style but how badly do they need a Giroud up front? Spain stun hosts Germany with a victory secured in the last-minute of extra time by Mikel Merino. Seb Stafford-Bloor reflects on a German campaign where everyone can hold their heads high. Saturday will see Netherlands face Turkey and England take on Switzerland. Valentin Schnorhk tells us how the best group of players the Swiss have ever had can make history and reach a semi-final for the very first time. Produced by Charlie Jones.
