Summary

On the second of three special and indeed unavoidable international editions of The Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo has Michael Cox, Jack Lange and Rafa Honigstein for company to gloss over two stunningly dull England games in order to discuss Gordon Strachan’s bizarre comments about genetics and Dick Advocaat’s unfortunate attempts to tempt the hand of fate.We’re also joined by George Quraishi - editor of the extremely fine Howler magazine - about USA’s 4-0 hammering of Panama, and Stefán Ágústsson tells us about the excitement in downtown Reykjavík as Iceland stand on the brink of qualification for their first ever World Cup.Also discussed: the backlash against the Messi backlash; why German club sides are having such a rough time of it in Europe this season; and Ravel Morrison makes his mark in Mexico.PARISH NOTICES:• Follow Stefán Ágústsson on twitter: @stebbisnaer• check out George Quraishi’s wonderful Howler magazine: http://www.whatahowler.com/•Totally Football Live in Birmingham is happening at the Glee club on Wednesday 8 November.

0:00.0	It's the Totally Football Show International Edition.
0:06.9	Yes, Road to Russia.
0:08.6	And from England to Egypt, who we'll go out to in the last 16, thanks to a Delhi Ali rig card and the Henderson Meta Tarsol,
0:14.0	we've got it all rounded up like my height on a dating profile.
0:17.8	There's good news for three lion supporters.
0:20.0	They were folding early doors, but then superior wingplay helped them enjoy new heights. That was the paper darts, of course. But not good news for Scotland. We've become the first team ever to fail because they were using the wrong jeans. Elsewhere, we'll hear from happy fans in Iceland and the United States of America. And we'll rub our eyes and pinch ourselves once again, as we ask,

1:22.7	No, still plenty to come in many continents.
1:26.4	Ecuador, Argentina. You were urging us to stay up for Peru, Argentina when last we spoke. I didn't myself. Did I miss much? You didn't miss any goals, but you missed a very dramatic evening, and I'm sure there'd be more of the same. Absolutely. Messy, poised on the brink of missing out on the next World Cup. It's Michael Cox.
1:45.5	Hello, James.
