Throughout UEFA Euro 2024, Mark "Rivo" Rivers and Richard Brant will be discussing the tournament in Germany, from looking ahead to the festival of football to dissecting and reviewing England's performances as 24 teams bid for European glory.
On this episode, Rivo & Rich review the final where a late goal from Mikel Oyarzabal 4 minutes from the end clinched victory for La Roja. We breakdown the goals in the 2nd half including Cole Palmer's wonderful finish and discuss the difference of shooting and finishing.
The duo then take a look back at Gareth Southgate's 8 years in charge of the Three Lions, from the thrilling penalty shoot-out win vs Colombia in World Cup 2018 to reaching back-to-back European Championship finals. They also look at the impact Gareth has had on football in this country and how he reconnected the nation to fall in love with England once again.
They then take a final look back at the Euro's in Germany, some of the highlights and moments of the tournaments plus how the young stars shone in Germany.
