Reviewing the final group stage games of Euro 2022 and previewing the quarterfinal matchups, with particular emphasis on England v Spain AKA The Battle of Trafalgar II

On today's show, in Part 1, Graham and Taylor take a look back at the final group stage games of Euro 2022, and discuss which teams were the most disappointing (Norway), which players we will be sad to see head home (a couple of the Norwegians), and what we learned ahead of the knockout round (Norway won't be in it).

In Parts 2 and 3 (starting around 19:43) we take an in-depth look at each of the quarterfinal match-ups, and try to predict the most likely tactics, 1v1 battles, and potential results.

England v Spain: best all-around team vs the most technical team? Who wins and who changes their game plan first?

Germany v Austria: high press and physical vs high press and physical = Not an ideal draw for Austria, but can they spring another surprise?

Sweden v Belgium: get excited! get excited? Plus, The Return of Blackstenius (our new movie title, if nothing else)

France v Netherlands: how might both teams line up without their most important attacking player, and why the Dutch will need to be less open if they want to contain a potent French attack.
