This is The Guardian.

Hi, Pod fans, Max here. Barry's here too. Hello. Football Weekly is supported by TNT Sports,

your destination for football's not normal moments. As we all know too well on this show, Barry,

whether it's the Premier League, the UEFA League, or the men's and Women's FA Cup, every match day has the potential to deliver drama, fun, excitement, even chaos, Barry. You got that right, Max? Yeah, I did, yeah. Whether it's the cunning trickery of the mean Yamal or the unbelievable acrobatics of Erling Harland, TNT Sports brings you football in its most unpredictable jaw-dropping glory across a range of competitions all in one place.

Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly. Panic over staple that St George's cross to your face. England are good and are going to win the World Cup. They made a tricky trip to Serbia on a Shagpar rug look simple. Morgan Rogers looked great in the 10. Madoaki and Gordon would direct out wide and Elliot Anderson had another good game at the base of midfield. England played quick and direct and looked like they had a plan. Elsewhere, Ireland lose to 105th ranked in the world Armenia. It's a disastrous defeat. Scotland win in an echoey empty stadium in Belarus. There's a huge late win for Italy, and Norway score 11. Brackets write 11 in letters, closed brackets. Meanwhile, Nuno out and Jin at Forest. Did the Maranakis blind trusting men that he didn't see any Spurs games in the Premier

League last season?

We'll discuss Nuno's legacy and celebrate the fact that Postercoglu is back.

There's worrying news for Baz, some classic email vasectomy wedding hits.

Your questions.

And that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

On the panel today, John Bruin, welcome.

Hello, Max Rushton.

Hello, Nicky Bandini.

Hello, Max Rushton.

And when I said worrying news, it's nothing to actually worry about that.

I don't want you to be on edge for the podcast.

I'm already on edge.

It's too late.

On edge after the Ireland performance, but we'll get to that. Let's start in Serbia, Niel, England, 5. Charlie says, where should England's victory parade start next summer? Dave says, where's the World Cup final being held and should us England fans book flights now? And Homer's choice says, given how much the pod overreacts to poor performances by England, are you going to overreact to this good performance? I mean, John, it was, in a way, Tugel's first real test in a competitive game. Serbia hadn't lost at home for two years. They hadn't conceded in qualifying until this game. Morgan Rogers, Anthony Gordon, Livermento all started. They all played well. In fact, England were just good. It was fun. It was quick.

I enjoyed myself.

England played English football as we've seen it.

And it's taken a while under Thomas Tuchel.
