Jimbo is back in the studio with Adrian Clarke & Sasha Goryunov after the first set of the round of 16 games took place.
We begin with events in Berlin - where holders Italy were knocked out by a vastly superior Switzerland side. James Horncastle and Michael Cox stop by with their reflections on a dire showing from the Azzurri.
Germany’s game was hit by a sudden stoppage due to lightening and hail, but it didn’t stop them from advancing to the quarter finals after their 2-0 win against Denmark. Can Germany go all the way in their home nation?

Jimbo looking like a convict in that clobber.
Great show boys.

Easily one of the worst Italy performances I've EVER seen.. No fight, limp attack, mistakes galore, no patterns of play.. What a joke of a cup defence. Tonali was HUGELY missed and Spalleti should've called up Varatti & Gnonto. Even Ballotelli would've been more effective than Scamaca. Hate him or love him, he has a physical presence and the type of confidence he has was severely lacking with the strikers we did have.

This podcast was served strongly by just letting Sasha bring his wealth of knowledge on the context behind Georgia's performance in this competition

[@IggyGoesPop666]

England's main problem is our lack of tactical set up & systems of play that should be finely tuned and drilled into the players during the coaching sessions in preparation for playing any opposition. Yes it's the manager role to get it right but it's not his role to do it on the pitch as a manager is a project manager who over see all aspects of the team, so its the couches role to do it and it is clear to see that Steve Holland is not up to the job!

Can someone translate what Italy got asphartaza means?😅in english

[@officialPrighozin]

asphalt eng asfalto ita asfaltato because when you are building a new road you completly erase what was there before pouring asphalt

Is Sasha rocking a Doom tee???

Germany did not storm past Denmark. Denmark matched them after their initial storm on goal and Denmark was hard done by. Millimeter decisions turned out to be pivotal and flipped everything in minutes.

[@asmodon]

It says „storm“ in the title because there was a thunderstorm going on.

[@Valjean666dk]

It says storm, because they value a bad pun over accuracy.
They could easily have worded it differently and still put in a shitty pun.

@08:35 Its only people that havent played football that are happy with the offside line in this new tech. The attacker stands IN LINE with the defender, he cant be looking at his fcking boots to check his toe is offside. If the attacker is in line with the defender that is by no standard other than this new infared laser line OFFSIDE. If I have to hear a bloke like this guy that can barely kick a ball, has never stood on a pitch talking about it I will stop watching

[@Infernus25]

Absolutely crazy title to say Germany storm past Denmark as if Denmark didn't put up a good fight and were then extremely unlucky with ref decisions

[@anthtan]

They couldn’t resist the reference to the weather issues that affected the game.

[@ASOXO]

Yeah I think it was because of the thunderstorm rather than the match itself.

[@Infernus25]

@@anthtan ahh that's fair I guess

[@Valjean666dk]

@@Infernus25 No it's not fair.
They went for a shitty pun over accuracy.

[@Delboy0]

Italy have been crap for a decade and the Euro win masked the problem that they don’t produce enough good players. The James have been overrated the quality of Italian players for a long time in media who haven’t produced outside of Italy

[@Valjean666dk]

Shitty title to go for a pun.

First time for me being first to comment and thats it dude!😎
