Howard, Cooney and Clerkin are back in The Irish Times studio to suss out where England’s Premier League 25/26 approach went wrong for them last night, if this really affects anything about the tournament and why we’re waiting on Anthony Barry’s half time interviews like a Tony Holohan Covid case update.  We also ask if Portugal’s game could be the worst 5-0 win for a team in history, and why Ronaldo and Jordan Henderson might be the actual goats of this tournament. Just not in the way you might think. Hosted on Acast.
