The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
With Jimbo away for the international break, Kelly Somers is in the Totally hot seat, with Duncan Alexander, Carl Anka and Charlie Eccleshare for company.
This week sees the retirement of two sometimes great and sometimes terrible former Arsenal and Real Madrid players, Emmanuel Adebayor and Mesut Ozil, with the German in particular leaving a hugely divisive legacy. A genius turned live blogger.
The Euro 2024 qualifying campaign begins with some stellar fixtures including Italy v England, Spain v a Haaland-less Norway, Zlatan’s Sweden v Belgium and captain Mbappe’s France v Koeman’s Netherlands.
Paul Tenorio joins us to discuss a turbulent few months for the US national team since the World Cup, the courting of Folarin Balogun and why Patrick Vieira should be the next USA manager.
Plus Hodgson, Conte and handsome Herve Renard.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
