On our latest EURO 2020 review show, Taylor, Graham, Ryan, and Joe talk through the day’s three games. Up first, Ryan puts on his best Sympathetic Tone to get Graham's thoughts on Scotland's loss to the Czech Republic, including what manager Steve Clarke could have done in the absence of Kieran Tierney. After that, Joe and Taylor do their best to break down why Slovakia's positional fluidity creates so many problems for Poland but why their red card was probably the biggest, and then it's on to Spain v Sweden, which Taylor contends was 50% amazing and then 50% sleep-inducing.Sponsors! Artifact!
