Send your your thoughts, opinions or feedback on any topics discussed on our podcastsWith Luke and Donal back at base, Macdara dials in from Berlin to give a flavour of two dramatic games he attended in Leipzig and Berlin.It was a beer-flavoured celebration from Leipzig with the Croatian fans showering the press box in beer before Italy broke their hearts in the 98th minute.Austria won a five-goal thriller in the Olympiastadion in Berlin to move beyond dark horse territory for this European Championship.Macdara gives a summary of some entertaining post-match press conferences including Luciano Spalletti defending his formation - “I did my dissertation on 3-5-2” - Ronald Koeman faced blunt questions and gave equally blunt answers on the Netherlands, and Ralf Rangnick discussed Austria’s home advantage being based in Berlin.On domestic matters, Donal gives his take on the season so far for Sligo Rovers, while Macdara looks at league leaders Shels - 12 games they have gone in front, turning into 12 games they’ve won - and Shamrock Rovers' waning five-in-a-row ambitions as they face into Europe and a tough FAI Cup tie away to Bohs.Support the show
