On the penultimate Football Weekly of the close season, AC Jimbo is joined by Paolo Bandini, James Horncastle and Iain Macintosh to get well and truly jazzed about this magical summer of football.

We begin by discussing Germany who stand on the brink of conquering both Poland and Russia (careful), having knocked England out of the U21 Euros – on penalties, of course – and swatting aside Mexico in the Confederations Cup. A Saúl-inspired Spain will provide stiff opposition in the Euros, while they’ll have to get past Chile and Claudio Bravo in the Confeds final on Sunday night. Would you bet against them?

Elsewhere, we discuss Sunderland’s appointment of Simon Grayson; the Garcia report; and the witch doctor scandal rocking Portugal.

Finally, we mop up all the transfer rumours that may or may not be true.

And remember, kids: big steps are dangerous for your trousers
