On our latest EURO 2020 review show, Taylor, Graham, Ryan, and Joe talk through the day’s three games.

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.

Felipe Cardenas of The Athletic returns to provide some much-needed updates on this summer's Copa America. If you missed our recent Soccer 101 explainer, you can find it here.

Plus, which managers are in the most secure positions and which ones are in the least, the tiers of quality when it comes to the current Conmebol pool, and the squads most likely to make deep runs this summer. There's also a pretty shocking anecdote in youth soccer in Ohio vs youth soccer in Argentina, and some positive words for Venezuela and Bolivia!
