It's us again! what do we have to say for ourselves after our failed predictions regarding the first quarter-final? A lot of things. Like: 'we've got asthma!' And 'hey, it was an extra show, it's like it didn't take place!'. Still good show, we recommend you listen and enrich your knowledge before the coming quarters, so that later you can laugh at us some more. For our gossip release of Euro Diaries 5 we talk: French coach getting ditched (twice?), Brazil's football fever, who's leaving, who's coming, why is Blacbourn still single and why Ana will not forgive Martin O'Neil.

If you want to know why we got asthma and why our methods are rubbish, watch this episode's favourite video:
