England: Less than fun.
On today's Briefing - England are through as group winners, but not exactly in style. So too our Austria, and they really have been excellent. Will this get better? By thunder, I hope so. Plus, what happened in the Copa America and where is Mary Earps off too?

Italy's great escape!
On today's Briefing - How did they get away with that? Italy were seconds from a very nervous week, but a last gasp goal sends them through, quite possibly at the expense of Luka Modric's Croatia. Elsewhere, Spain's B Team eliminate Albania.
Plus, Brazil and Colombia were in action in the Copa America.

Heartbreak for Scotland and a fright for Germany
On today's Briefing - Germany very nearly slipped up and lost their grip on the top spot. Guy Clarke was watching. Meanwhile Scotland fell short once again, exiting yet another tournament in the first round. VAR...urgh...what is it good for? Absolutely nothing, it seems.
Plus, the USA were in action in the Copa America.

Are Austria everyone's second favourite team? (apart from Poland)
On today's Briefing - Austria's bold 3-1 victory over Poland gives them a real chance of progression. They were certainly more fun than France and the Netherlands who played out a fairly dull draw. Plus: Where is Michael Olise going this summer? Hint: It's not Chelsea. And what happened in the Copa last night?

Spain send out a message: We're back!
