England have won their second consecutive Euros, a Lionesses XI built out of different types of rocks and hard places ultimately proving too tough for Spain to break down.

Today we learn about the lighter side of Sarina Wiegman, look at what England’s win signifies in these exciting days for the meaning of Englishness, and reflect on the overall impact of Euro 2025.

We also discuss the knock-on effects of Luis Diaz’ transfer to Bayern, and whether top clubs’ increasing fixation on 22 year olds is creating market opportunities for old foxes like David Moyes to exploit.
