The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Matt Davies-Adams is in the hot seat, alongside Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers, Adrian Clarke and many more in the midst of a dramatic international break.
Hansi Flick is sacked as Germany manager, with a home Euros looming next summer. Raphael Honigstein and Seb Stafford-Bloor discuss why and what next?
England are held in Ukraine with some of Gareth Southgate’s decisions called into question again. Is he a good enough coach to lead the Three Lions to glory at Euro 2024? Will England come unstuck against Scott McTominay’s Scotland on Tuesday?
Luciano Spalletti’s debut as Italy manager sees them slip up in Skopje. James Horncastle has more.
Elsewhere on the international scene, Neymar is Brazil’s all-time top scorer, Lamine Yamal is the future and Luxembourg are legit.
Plus Arsenal’s Champions League heartache, some worlds at Mansfield and a last-ditch abandonment at Scunthorpe.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
