A kick in the Zubkov
The Totally Football Show with James Richardson - A podcast by The Athletic
Matt Davies-Adams, Michael Cox and Sasha Goryunov are here as Wales arrive, Russia aren't Finnished, and Italy are livin la vida loca-telli. First to Baku where Wales are beaming after their 2-0 victory over Turkey, we ask if this was one of the most impressive performances so far As for Russia well they arrived too in St Petersburg and grabbed their first three points. Will a win be enough to see teams through to the knockout stages though? And Italy gain a load of backers after their dominant performance over Switzerland - but should we believe the hype? Elsewhere it's a big day for Denmark tomorrow as they play Belgium in Copenhagen. We speak with Danish commentator Niels Harild about the mood in the country. It's an Arnautovic-less Austria taking on The Netherlands - will Frank de Boer give us more of the same chaos? And finally Sasha brings a big tactics lesson on Ukraine v North Macedonia.
