Today: Spain defeat Croatia in a thrilling penalty shootout, following a dull 120 minutes, to lift the Nations League trophy. The panel ask whether anyone actually cares about the tournament (besides Spain and Croatia fans), whether this is it for Croatia’s ‘Golden Generation’, and if this is a new one arriving for Spain?

The panel also discuss England’s routine Euro 2024 qualifying victory over Malta, and Jim joins to discuss Scotland’s shock, last-minute, smash-and-grab win in Norway.

Elsewhere, we pick of the latest transfer news, discuss the legendary Martin Tyler leaving Sky Sports after more than three decades in the commentary booth, and preview the upcoming international games for the home nations.
