| 0:00.0 | you're listening to the game football podcast from the times today it's the |
| 0:07.5 | start of Euro 2024 qualifying with England out in Naples to face Italy. What |
| 0:13.4 | can we expect from Gareth Southgate's team in the coming months? Will they |
| 0:17.7 | develop into a team that can go win a tournament and how will they do that? |
| 0:21.3 | And how are you feeling about this team right now? Is it time? We're a |

| 1:37.0 | Macedonia as well. So I think we should expect England to qualify and that means |
| 1:43.4 | that we can maybe look at the bigger picture. Look that's English arrogance for |
