Luke Jordan and Macdara Ferris chat through the Euros quarter-finals from Friday and Saturday and Macdara’s experience of watching Spain v Germany ahead of reporting on the Portugal v France game in Hamburg and of following the England v Switzerland penalty shootout on TV in the press box in Berlin’s Olympiastadion ahead of the Dutch win over Türkiye.
There is Ronaldo failing to follow the statistical protocol for penalty shoot-outs and choosing to go second, Gareth Southgate’s marginal gains for England – always going first in shoot-out if coin toss allows, not rushing to take a spot kick straight after the referee’s whistle - and Jordan Pickford’s water bottle fine print.
There is where to not go in Hamburg (anywhere east of the train station), the delights of Potsdam on a sunny summer Sunday afternoon and putting the boot in on Roberto Martinez.
