Hello, welcome back to the TIFO football podcast.

No Joe Devine again, sorry about that, but you do have me and you do have Alex.

Hello, Alex.

Good morning, Seth. How are you doing?

I'm doing very well, mate.

And you will also have Ian Hume, who dropped by to talk to us about the head injury he suffered in 2008.

And it's absolutely fascinating conversation.

And Ian talks about what happened after his head injury, his recovery from it, his career

afterwards, how he looks back on it today.

Before we get to that, though, we are going to have a little talk about international football

because we've got an international break at the moment. Alex and I are busy watching different fixtures and different games and

we've come up with some ideas to liven up international football a little bit or help it to

compete with UEFA's plans for the new Champions League. You know, try and give it a little bit

of an equal footing, you know, as club football expands. Before we get to that, though, let's talk about the athletic, which you can subscribe to right now for a special price with £3.99 a month for six months, and that's a full 40% off the full price of the subscription. You'll enjoy great analysis and in-depth features from the very best football writers around,

as well as ad-free versions of all our podcasts.

Alex, what have you been reading on the athletic at the moment?

So there's a couple of things.

So it's a really nice Mark Carey piece looking at players to keep an eye on during the under 21 euros.

And there are some names in there like Sven Botman, who we've talked about, both on the podcast and they've popped up in sensible transfer videos.

But there's also a couple of other players there that are worth looking at.

I also really enjoyed Michael Cox's analysis of Barcelona women against Manchester City women,

which was, I suppose, I mean, from a tactical perspective, it's an interesting thing,
