Marcus, Luke and Jim get their heart rates down long enough to recap a truly absurd game of football, as England scrape past Slovakia more by luck than judgement. But who cares, because we’ve got Jude Bellingham.

We try to separate what could have happened from what did actually happen as we look over Gareth Southgate’s decisions, England’s tactics and what happens next. Elsewhere, Spain remind us of how sexy football can be, Georgia bow out heroically and the Belgians have banned their French neighbours from honking ahead of tonight’s game.
