The latest Football Weekly podcast sees Max Rushden joined by Barry Glendenning, Seb Hutchinson and Paul Watson as the international break gets under way.
England v Spain and Thomas Tuchel's reception
The panel opens with England's meeting with world champions Spain, a fixture described as actually interesting. Thomas Tuchel has said the World Cup brought England one step closer to glory, though the podcast notes not all fans agree. The discussion covers the reception Tuchel will receive and how he might approach taking on the world champions.
Ireland, Scotland, France and Germany
Elsewhere, the show looks at Ireland's difficult task in approaching their games against Israel, both at neutral venues. The panel also considers Scotland's new manager, Zinedine Zidane taking over at France, and Jurgen Klopp selecting two squads for Germany's matches.
Listener questions and lighter moments
The episode also asks whether anyone would buy a piece of Old Trafford turf for 125 pounds, and whether a listener would eat a carrot because their favourite footballer does, alongside answering listener questions.
