Jimbo welcomes Michael Cox and Duncan Alexander into the pod after a day of illuminating action at the Euros.\n\nCzech Republic hog the headlines by eliminating the Netherlands in the first shock of the last 16. But are they still the weakest team in the competition? And can Frank De Boer be blamed for the crazy mistakes of his players?\n\nNumber 1 ranked Belgium knock out holders Portugal, in a game signposted by selfishness and stroppiness. And it\u2019s time to bust the myth that Ronaldo is good at free-kicks.\n\nIt\u2019s another big day of action. Juraj Vrdoljak tells us whether Croatia fear Spain, the team that inflicted their heaviest defeat ever. And Julien Laurens previews France v Switzerland, as Pogba looks to build on his position as perhaps the player of the tournament so far.\n\nPlus we appreciate Balotelli, Cassano and Prandelli 9 years on.\n\nRUNNING ORDER:\xa0\n\xa0\n\u2022 PART 1: Netherlands 0-2 Czech Republic with Karel Haring (03m 30s)\n\u2022 PART 2: Belgium 1-0 Portugal (16m 30s)\n\u2022 PART 3a: Croatia v Spain preview with Juraj Vrdoljak (29m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 3b: France v Switzerland preview with Julien Laurens (34m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 4: The odds with Paddy Power (46m 45s)\n\u2022 PART 5: On This Day \u2013 Super Mario Balotelli in 2012 (49m 00s)\n\n\nSIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC FOR \xa31 A MONTH FOR YOUR FIRST 6 MONTHS:\n\u2022\xa0theathletic.com/totally\n\xa0\nGET IN TOUCH:\n\u2022\xa0follow us on\xa0Instagram\n\u2022\xa0find us on\xa0Facebook\n\u2022 send us a\xa0tweet: @TheTotallyShow\n\xa0\nPARISH NOTICES:\n\u2022\xa0we\u2019re sponsored by\xa0Paddy Power\xa0- home of the Money Back Special\n\xa0\nREAD STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE:\n\u2022\xa0check out\xa0thetotallyfootballshow.com.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
