Incredibly haunted
The Totally Football Show with James Richardson - A podcast by The Athletic
Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, Sasha Goryunov and Charlie Eccleshare into the pod after another epic international weekend. The headlines are dominated by Republic of Ireland’s shock defeat at home to Luxembourg in World Cup qualifying. Ken Early tells us why it’s delusional for the Irish to believe this is their worst ever result. 10 marks out of 10 for England so far as they swat aside San Marino and Albania. Should England build the team around Harry Kane when it comes to constructing their midfield? And who’s been the big winner of Euro 2020 being delayed by a year? Meanwhile Aidy Boothroyd’s Under 21s would settle for a shot on target. Why do so many big nations not have a style or system at Under 21 level? And Daniel takes on Sasha in another intriguing encounter in the Inter Totally Cup. Plus Dzyuba, Derby and football’s finest statues.
