On today's episode, it's time for some listener questions! The whole crew is back on mic to answer your questions: 1) What are the best ways to better understand soccer strategy and formations? Aside from watching games, are there online resources or something of that ilk? 2) Why do Mexican clubs have so many sponsors on their kits?

Graham and Taylor take a look back at the 2022 Euros thus far. With every team having played at least one game, they get into the standout performers, tactical wrinkles, and major talking points that have dominated the competition thus far. Group A - How did England put eight past Norway, and how much trouble might the Scandinavians be in when they take on Austria in their final group stage game? Group B - Germany press their way into top spot, while Spain's lack of attacking prowess limited their chances against the Germans. Could Denmark spring a surprise in their upcoming match with Spain? Group C - Draws ahoy! But Sweden and the Netherlands still looking strong! Group D - Reports of France's demise may have been exaggerated... but second place is very much up for grabs! Sponsors!
