The Euros are fun again! The xF was way up, with the Netherlands playing well and Austria - Turkey living up to expectations. Turkish football enjoyer Andy Brassell joins to help make sense of it all - and look ahead to the Quater-finals.

England manager Gareth Southgate has faced growing criticism over his leadership this week, despite guiding the Three Lions to the knockout stage of the Euros as group winners.   Some fans are disappointed with the lacklustre performances and have vented their anger towards Southgate, who has responded by calling for continued support of the team. “I understand the feeling towards me, but back the players,” he said. “It's crucial the fans back the players.”   On this episode Niall Paterson is joined by Rob Harris, our sports correspondent, and Andy Brassell, host of The Football Ramble podcast, for a debrief on the challenge Southgate faces in managing his team amid the criticism.  Producer: Soila Apparicio Editor: Philly Beaumont

Today's Football Ramble Presents showcase is one close to our hearts.Last year, the European Super League crashed into our lives.

Andy Brassell and a host of journalists, fans and familiar Ramble voices tell the story of what happened, how supporters fought back, and wonder what the future holds.In the first of three episodes, we trace the long road to April 2021. From the origins of the Super League in the 80s, to the scarcely believable backroom manoeuvrings inside UEFA last year, we speak to the journalists who first broke the story to understand the motivations and miscalculations that finally made Europe's biggest clubs cash in their most valuable bargaining chip.
