Summary
Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Gregor Robertson and Tony Cascarino to look back at the weekend's International football.
Spurs have parted company with Antonio Conte, was it always a marriage in hell? Does Daniel Levy deserve the criticism that has come his way? Is it more than just recruitment that's to blame? (00:00)
The former Bayern Munich manager Julien Nagelsmann has been linked with the role, but will he be a good appointment, or shall they appoint someone left-field such as Vincent Kompany (19:55)
Harry Kane surpasses Wayne Rooney to become England's all-time record goalscorer - is he the greatest England striker of all-time? (32:20)
England begin their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with two wins from two - they reflect on a 2-0 win for England against Ukraine, and praise the performances of Bukayo Saka and James Maddison. (42:26)
The guys reflect on the weekend's other International football, as Wales leave it late to secure a point against Croatia in Split, Scotland start their campaign off with a 3-0 thrashing of Cyprus, and the Republic of Ireland beat Latvia. (59:48)

| 0:07.4 | Conte at Spurs. Is it time for a reset at the club? And who should take charge next? |
| 0:13.8 | We'll also ask him it is thrown away their top four hopes. We'll talk about Harry Kane's |
| 0:18.9 | future at Spurs, but also his record breaking achievement for England becoming their top |

| 1:37.5 | morning. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Tell the people why it's because we were |
