England embarked on their quest for a trophy at Euro 2024 with three – on paper – not bad looking group games against Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia.

Billy Grant was over in Germany for his 16th major tournament following England to catch up with the action and speak to the fans before, during and after the match

You can catch up with all the podcasts below. Or check them out on Pride Of West.London

  1. England 1 Serbia 0 – post-match podcast from the stands

England’s first game was in Gelsenkirchen. After a bright start with a great goal from Jude Bellingham, the game fizzled out at questions we asked as to whether England had it in them to go all the way. Hold on guys and girls, it’s early days yet. We spoke to fans in the stands and the bars straight after the Serbia match

2. Pre Match with the Danes – England v Denmark

Out late late late with the Danish fans in Frankfurt as they partied the night away one the eve of the England match. Denmark had four Brentford players in their squad. Would any of them play? We spoke to England and Danish fans as well as Gareth Southgate on their thoughts prior to the big match

3. England 1 Denmark 1 – post-match podcast from the stands

A drab drab game where England peeked a point to stay top of the group. The Danes partied like they won the FA Cup. England fans were just happy to have another excused to sign the Phil Foden Bruce Bringsteen song. We spoke to fans straight after the match

4. England – Slovenia 0 – post-match podcast from the stands

England still struggled to get a swerve on in Cologne. The previous couple of days the atmosphere was fantastic in the city with England fans hanging out by the river Rhine and celebrating in great spirits. Meanwhile on the pitch, things were still not happening. Southgate makes a few changes, bringing in Gallagher for Alexander-Arnold but then flips that at half time to bring on Mainoo. The appearance of Palmer and Gordon gives England new spark but many say it was too much too late

Booing from the stands. Fans arguing amongst themselves as to whether they should boo the team or not. We caught it all on this podcast as we spoke to fans straight after the match in the stands at Cologne Stadium

5. England 2 Slovakia 1 (aet) – post match podcast from Gelsenkirchen

It’s the knockouts. Can England step it up? It seems not. One nil down to Slovakia in the knockouts. Ivan Toney comes on with two minutes to go. It’s 90th plus 4 minutes. Toney clears the way for Jude Bellingham to score a peach of a goal to level the game up with the last kick of the game

We spoke to fans in the streets and trains straight after the game in and around Gelsenkirchen

6. England 2 Netherlands 1 – post-match podcast from Dortmund

It’s the big one the European Championships semi-final that sees England pitted against the Dutch. And what a match up

150,0000 Dutch arrived in Dortmund incredibly confident of beating the “rubbish” (as they called them) English. And when they went one up with a well taken goal, they were setting their sat navs for Berlin

But England struck back. A penalty for Harry Kane followed by a last-minute winner from late substitute Ollie Watkins saw England through to the final

Billy TheBee Grant spoke to both English and Dutch fans in the streets, stands and trains straight after the match
