Euro 2024 preview Part 2 - the dark horses

Jimbo is back with Duncan Alexander, JJ Bull and Tim Spiers just a couple of days before the big kick-off in Germany.

We begin with Scotland taking on the hosts in Munich on Friday. Can Steve Clarke’s side cause an upset? A returning Raphael Honigstein sets the mood in Munich.

Are there ominous signs for England with a group rocked by shock squad selections and a defence that might not be good enough for a major tournament?

Kristof Terreur isn’t feeling too optimistic about Belgium’s chances, even though they’re unbeaten under Domenico Tedesco.

We make the case for which teams will surprise everyone this summer, notably Ralf Rangnick’s Austria and Sylvinho’s Albania.

Plus Erik ten Hag, watered down beer and which Euro 2024 manager was the worst player?

Produced by Charlie Jones.

Theme music by JJ Bull.
