Summary
Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Dom Fifield and Adrian Clarke are back to cast their collective eye over all football happenings.
With the likes of Scotland, France, Austria and Belgium on the verge of qualification for Euro 2024, England prepare to host Australia as we revisit memories of friendly encounters with the Socceroos gone by. And can we please see Lewis Dunk as the new lynchpin of the Three Lions defence?
Eden Hazard announces his retirement from football. One of the greatest players of his generations but a man whose socks told us how his career would ultimately end.
Wayne Rooney is out of DC and into BCFC as the new manager of Birmingham. Will we finally find out how good a coach he is now that he’ll have some money to spend?
Plus Paul Tenorio gives us his thoughts on Rooney and the impact that Lionel Messi failing to make the play-offs will have on MLS.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
