Well, well, well. After the social media firestorm that broke out after last week's episode, Jay Bothroyd left Mark Schwarzer to pick up the pieces on this week's show. With him were Phil Kitromilides and Julien Laurens as they held Mark to account for his comments that had the France and Atletico Madrid star hurling pizza emojis his way!

As well, the trio discuss:

• France's poor showing against Brazil, is it an ominous sign for their Euros tilt?
• And, one fine young star, Endrick, with a pivotal moment for the Samba Kings!
• Should Gareth Southgate just gamble with Kobbie Mainoo?
• EURO Playoffs: three spots remain...who will get them? We give our definitive (and definitely not mean!) tips!
• The Premier League returns this weekend with perhaps the match that defines the title race: Manchester Cirty v Arsenal! We give a full preview of this bumper match.
• And could we be at the beginning of one of the greatest dynasties in sport with Real Madrid's unprecedented wave of youngsters seemingly at the top of their games?
