On the podcast today; Portugal squeeze past Slovenia one penalties after goalkeeper Diogo Costa saved three in a row. Cristiano Ronaldo had a chance to win it in extra-time but so did Benjamin Sesko for Slovenia but both were denied.
Elsewhere, France v Belgium was a game that somehow conspired to be worse than England v Slovakia. A late deflected goal was enough to ensure France made it to the last eight.
Plus, we’ll look ahead to Romania v Netherlands and Austria v Turkey, not to mention a tiny bit more on England and answer your questions.
