The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Jimbo, Michael Cox, James Horncastle and former Spurs and PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino sit down to pick the bones out of Groups A and B as we count down to Qatar.
Can England settle on a style and go all the way? Can Iran put the controversy back home behind them? Bassil Mikdadi tells us more.
Are the Netherlands dark horses for the tournament under the guidance of special guy Van Gaal? Will Qatar prove to not actually be rubbish? Are we better off playing now than in June? And we ask Maher Mezahi whether Senegal can add to their AFCON glory.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
