This week, Kevin and Ant Rutherford are joined by Paul Robinson, former league player and England star, for a bumper look at the build-up England's first match at the European Football Championship, which kicks off for the Three Lions boys on Sunday 13th June!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• England has always tended to hold back the new talent when it comes to the international stage. However, recently, we have found great success is playing new stars with no fear.
• The players who find themselves picked in major tournaments are oddly left out of the build-up friendlies in order to rest, but the best method would be to play them so as to gain momentum.
• Football is all about chemistry - selecting the right ingredients to use in the right places, in order to build a robust force that works effortlessly and which terrifies the opposition.
• The problem with England squads of the past is that sometimes players are selected because of how the country feels about them emotionally, and not whether they are the best person for the job at the time.

BEST MOMENTS

1:00 - 'To say that I was right, 100%, would be an understatement'

4:08 - 'These young players that are coming through have no fear'

16:57 - 'I think that midfield three is so dynamic and dangerous, it could cause a whole lot of teams a whole lot of problems'

1:12:00 - 'When you watch him in midfield, he was always five seconds ahead'
