Can We Not Knock It? A Podcast About The England Football Team at Euro 2020

Looks like a whole lot of fun supporting Wales, doesn't it?

On this episode, we catch up with journalists and Wales fans Rhys Thomas (Vice, Time Out, The Guardian) and Sean Griffiths (The Face, The Independent, Mixmag) on the eve of their side's Group A meeting with Italy to ask... can we have some of what you've got, please?

A disappointing/wretched/fascinating/fine performance for England in their second game - the boys can't agree with each other at all. Plenty to talk about though...

And so we arrive at England vs. Scotland, then. And to this episode's special guest - NME alumni Rick Martin, he also does the very good Demo Tapes podcast - for a conversation that marks the meeting point between noughties indie and a love of the England football team!

After a dream start to Euro 2020, the boys assemble to discuss just what went right against Croatia, reflect on Christian Eriksen's on pitch collapse and the bravery and empathy of those around him - and even find the time to do a bit of Geography revision!

Does anyone else feel a bit like it's Christmas? Weeeeee! On this episode the boys discuss who they each favour for tournament winners, the potential surprise packages, the genius of Phil Foden and spend quite a lot of time talking about England vs. Germany - a game that hasn't even happened yet... but it will... oh yes it will.

In the wake of the Romania friendly, the boys spend more time than they'd like to on the eve of a major football tournament, talking about booing taking the knee. 

But we couldn't not.

James McMahon speaks to journalist Robert Jackman about what can be taken away from last night's friendly against Austria. We raise a toast to Jack Grealish (and Gareth Southgate's sartorial style) and hope for the best for the crocked Trent Alexander-Arnold.

On the last episode, you probably heard the boys talking about how there hadn't been a good musical release for England on the eve of a football tournament in some time. Good pop songs are, at least, something England do very well!

So... we wrote one. On this episode you can hear it. It's called 'Let's Score A Goal (I've Got An Idea)'. It's not our place to say whether it's any good or not...

The boys discuss Gareth's 33 man provisional squad. Isn't that just making it harder for himself? And they get hella emotional about Gazza...
