FIFA World Cup 2026

Jimbo assembles the Euro crew of Raphael Honigstein, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo after some statement performances across the continent this weekend. Napoli dismantle Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio to stay top of Serie A but it’s been a bad week for Juventus. They’re under investigation off the pitch and are Max Allegri’s methods on the pitch behind the times? Erling Haaland is back with a bang, just in time for Der Klassiker next weekend. Can Dortmund finally get one over Bayern? Sergio Ramos finally makes his debut for PSG but it looks like they’ve lost Neymar till the New Year through injury. Real Madrid extend their lead at the top of La Liga with Vinicius in the form of his life and Benzema becoming a wiser player with age. Plus Belenenses Benfica and the Ballon D’Or goes to Messi. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moment of the weekend (01m 30s) • PART 2: Napoli 4-0 Lazio (07m 00s) • PART 3: Vinicius and Benzema star again for Real Madrid (14m 00s) • PART 4: Haaland’s back for Dortmund (27m 00s) • PART 5a: The World Cup play-off draw (34m 00s) • PART 5b: PSG win with Ramos but lose Neymar (40m 00s) • PART 6: A bad week for Juventus (48m 00s) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC TODAY FOR 33% OFF THE PRICE OF AN ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION • theathletic.com/totally GET IN TOUCH: • follow us on Instagram • find us on Facebook • send us a tweet: @TheTotallyShow READ STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE: • check out thetotallyfootballshow.com.

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Lynsey Hooper and Matt Davies-Adams are all over the Premier League weekend and midweek action. Carrick’s United go ultra-defensive to draw at Stamford Bridge. Rangnick’s United on Thursday are up against an Arsenal side that are proving themselves better than the rest but worse than the best. There’s scarcely believable murmurings of discontent at Brighton and Wolves. But more believable disgruntlement at Goodison as Everton prepare for Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby. Matt Jones from the Blue Room tells us why Rafa is close to the least of Everton’s problems. And we speak to Ken Saxton, the Spurs fan from Dallas who travelled all the way to Burnley to see the game snowed off and is now friends with Harry Kane. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1a: Chelsea 1-1 Man Utd (03m 00s) • PART 1b: Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle (14m 00s) • PART 3: Merseyside Derby preview with Matt Jones (19m 00s) • PART 4a: Ken Saxton on his trip from Dallas to Burnley (31m 00s) • PART 4b: The rest of the Premier League weekend/midweek (38m 00s) • PART 5: The odds with Paddy Power (50m 30s) • PART 6: The World Cup play-off draw (53m 00s) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC TODAY FOR 33% OFF THE PRICE OF AN ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION • theathletic.com/totally GET IN TOUCH: • follow us on Instagram • find us on Facebook • send us a tweet: @TheTotallyShow READ STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE: • check out thetotallyfootballshow.com.

Even the blizzards summoned by Łukasz Fabiański this weekend weren't enough to stop either a purring Manchester City from winning or Sean Dyche from putting a jacket on. Kate, Jim and Lars round up a flurry of Premier League goodness as radio's Ralf Rangnick helped Man United get a point at Stamford Bridge and Graham Potter weathered some unusual booing. We also summarise the game's latest bout of shithousery, stretching from Norway to Uruguay.

Like a rock hard Mitre to the face on a freezing Sunday morning, it’s safe to say Antonio Conte was struck by the size of the task he has at Tottenham after his men were downed by Mura last night. Marcus, Pete and Jim wonder just how many of his players he might run over when he sees them in training on Friday. Elsewhere there's more European goodness, Manchester United look to be on the verge of a disturbingly wise managerial appointment and we finally get to the bottom of Newcastle’s poor form: biscuity food fights.

Mauricio Pochettino slunk back to Paris with his tail between his legs last night after another fairytale clash with Man City, where Bernardo Silva served up the sauce and Kyle Walker was just really, really fast again. Marcus, Andy and Jim chew over that and travel to Liverpool as well, where we hail Thiago and check in with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who’s sliding into Gareth’s DMs as we speak. Plus, we find out about the dastardly plans to extend half-time for ‘in-game entertainment’ – fingers on the pulse as ever!

They've crawled through a river of shite, but Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek have finally reached Redemption. Michael Carrick, take an interim bow. Pete, Andy and Vish recap last night's Champions League action, as Chelsea's production line delivered some delicious goods and Andy caught Barcelona's *thrilling* 0-0 with Benfica at the Camp Nou. We also make fleeting stops in France (for crowd trouble) and the Polish sixth tier (for 53 goals a game).

Club legends are ten a penny, nowadays. Whether it's Steve Bruce eyeing up the Manchester United job or Tony Hibbert joining a new club five years since his Everton retirement, you'll find them everywhere. Marcus, Vish and Lars wonder where Man United go next as they shake off Ole Gunnar Solskjær's sickly sweet vibes - would Mauricio Pochettino make that train journey?

Kris, Phil, and (for a while) Jez look back at an international break that saw France qualify for the World Cup, a red-card-heavy round of Ligue 1 games featuring yet another abandoned game, and some weird moves on and off the pitch in the women's game.

Well, the inevitable axe has finally fallen: Ole Gunnar Solskjær has been sacked by Manchester United. Jules, Jim and Pete pore over the dismal performance that broke the panel's back and wonder what's next for the rudderless Reds. We also blast through a load of other amazing results from the weekend, with new managers stirring up the relegation battle and the top three flexing their enormous, financially-enhanced muscles.

After a cracking international break, Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Flo Lloyd-Hughes preview a tantalising Premier League weekend. England batter San Marino 10-0 to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. How do we feel about that kind of match and how do we feel about this kind of World Cup venue? Arsenal travel to Anfield in the headline fixture this weekend. In hindsight, did the Gunners win the transfer window? Three new managers take the Premier League stage on Saturday at 3 o’clock. The Athletic’s Jordan Campbell tells us what Aston Villa fans can expect Stevie G’s style to be. Plus Spurs have done a Gone With The Wind and Dean Smith is about to do a Bill McGarry.

Kate, Jim and Pete are here with the answers to some of the game's biggest questions: is Zinedine Zidane warming to the prospect of Man United? Are Newcastle victims of a vicious Premier League cartel? How many miles will Dani Alves run in every Barcelona game he starts? We also revel in some truly obscene scenes from last night's FA Cup first round and hear of more financial struggles in the EFL, with Reading the next club to be handed a points deduction.

Roberto Martínez nearly pulled out some of those saucy moves in that electric Cardiff atmosphere last night, with Beefy Moore's equaliser enough to get Wales a seeded play-off spot. We get into that, before Marcus and Luke console Lars Sivertsen after Norway's disciplined display bore no fruit against Louis van Gaal and the Deathstar. We also check in with the sorry situation at Derby County and get a *crucial* Inter Miami update, as financial fiddling gives way to Neville nepotism.

It has become customary for England to qualify for national tournaments without breaking a sweat, and it was never in...

England's marching band stuck ten past San Marino in the final round of Now That's What I Call Competitive, meaning they can turn their attention to the dark cloud coming over the hill. Kate, Luke and Pete give that a once-over, remind everyone that Scotland invented the passing game after their Danish delight and see Northern Ireland throw the cat among the piccione. We also delve into the ongoing issues around Qatar 2022 and what can be expected of the players and federations heading their next year.

So on this episode, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter (joining from Jamaica) decide to update you on a whole bunch of things that concern the Galaxy and the city of Los Angeles. Josh and Kevin will start by discussing the Galaxy's international players and what they've been up to during the last break before the MLS playoffs kick-off and then wrap up. They'll talk about players like Niko Hamalainen and Rayan Raveloson and what their travel schedules could have meant during the playoffs. Plus, will Oniel Fisher face off against Sebastian Lletget on Tuesday night? Then Kevin will drop some hints on when the MLS home openers could drop while also discussing the FIFA tour of Los Angeles. Will LA get a World Cup Final again? Finally, the guys discuss Dennis te Kloese's future with the Galaxy and why an option year doesn't always mean the club has an option. That's right, we're talking about performance metrics, and those could affect the Galaxy's season. Will Dan Steres be staying with the Galaxy in 2022? And what could that mean for Sebastian Lletget too? Will Greg Vanney be wheeling and dealing as he looks to place some pieces on a team that missed the playoffs? We've got a fun little show for you today. And we're trying to pack everything in before the Thanksgiving week shuts everything down -- including us. So sit back and relax. We've got offseason Galaxy-talk heading your way!

Joe, Seb & Alex reconvene during the international break to discuss whether Steven Gerrard has jeopardised his 'dream' of managing Liverpool by taking the job at Aston Villa... Also, why Norwich appointing Dean Smith covers all the bases, how Arsenal have surprised Joe and how tactically flexible Vieira's Crystal Palace are. Plus, Seb and Alex reflect on some interesting international football and, in particular, USA's scary progress ahead of hosting the World Cup in 2026. Hosted on Acast.

Fresh off his latest round of Ibra Watch, Lars Sivertsen joins Jules and Andy at Ramble HQ for a blast through a hefty weekend of international football. Aleksandar Mitrović and co dented Portugal's World Cup hopes with some last gasp magic, while Harry Maguire drowned out the #haters at Wembley. We also wonder if Dean Smith can save Norwich, remind Scotland they're decent and bring some non-league nonsense to the table!

In the era of hyper professionalism, it's refreshing to see Radja Nainggolan determined to never play for Belgium again because he'd rather have a smoke. Ryan Fraser should've used that justification for dropping out of Scary Steve's Scotland squad. Marcus, Luke and Vish look ahead to some crucial qualifiers as Scotland inspire some confidence, Wales plant some seeds and Harry Kane looks to shake off some poor form.

Hosts Dan Bardell and George Elek are joined by bet365's Steve Freeth to discuss Steven Gerrard's appointment as Aston Villa boss - Is it really a bad thing if he views Villa as a stepping stone to Liverpool? Plus, why Norwich choosing Frank Lampard to replace Daniel Farke would be a surprise...

Imagine it: you're Matty Cash. You've just turned up to national team training for the first time - having learned the anthem on YouTube - to find Pep Guardiola scampering along the touchline. Rest up, Pep, honestly... Jules, Jim and Andy check in with two Liverpool legends as they change jobs, as Steven Gerrard takes over Aston Villa and sporting director Michael Edwards will end his incredible tenure later this season.

The Papa John's Trophy served up some more lukewarm slices last night, with AFC Wimbledon eliminated and Newcastle United U21's battered at Mansfield. At least Jonjo Shelvey's been signing some local cans of lemonade, the good sport. Jules, Andy and Pete pour some garlic butter over more football nonsense, with Steven Gerrard casting an eye southwards and Xavi putting the Catalan hammer down.

Kate, Luke and Jim get stuck into the big questions right at the heart of the football discourse on today's show: did Arsène Wenger leave Arsenal too late? Did Callum Wilson think he was collecting Eddie Howe from the airport? Who's Stuart Attwell again? We also wonder how Howe might fare on Tyneside after his appointment was confirmed, hear of some glorious Brazilian shithousery and celebrate Mikel Arteta's impressive centenary.

Vish and Jim join Marcus to hail the return of John Wick to the Premier League, get the latest puns from Tyneside, and check in on both Manchester clubs ahead of the big derby tomorrow.

Liverpool cantered to another victory over a pretty cantankerous Atlético Madrid last night thanks to some icy refereeing. That doesn’t sound like our Diego.

Mark Chapman & The Athletic's Matt Slater are joined by Dale Vince, owner of Forest Green Rovers Football Club who is at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow. Dale's side are recognised by FIFA as being the greenest football club in the world - we’ll discuss how sport can take action against climate change..

Watching Man United's trademark comebacks is like flying on a budget airline to a stag do - more disorganised chaos that always seems to get there eventually. Kate, Luke and Andy call out Ole Gunnar Solskjær for more post-game patronising and praise Chelsea's adaptability.

Kate, Jim and Vish track Wolves' migration up the table after another tidy win, this time against a struggling Everton. We wonder why the bottom half of the table remains a maelstrom of uncertainty - maybe Marcelo Bielsa's translating sherpa can guide us through. We also look into Antonio Conte's imminent arrival in North London and the embarrassment of managerial riches the Premier League will possess - with or without lonely wanderer Daniel Farke.

The inevitable axe has finally fallen, with Saturday's turgid performance enough to get Nuno Espírito Santo the sack - whether we can blame him for it or not. Jules, Luke and Jim wonder why it's consistently gone wrong for Spurs since the 2019 Champions League final and who they should turn to next. We also catch up on a load of other results from the week, as Brighton and Palace took on the big boys and Aleksandar Mitrovic bullied some more Championship defenders.

As the Man United saga rolls on, Sir Alex Ferguson's back at Carrington. It's just to get a suit fitted, apparently - we assume Ole is holding the tape measure. Kate, Vish and Pete look ahead to more Premier League nonsense, with United travelling to Spurs and The Graeme Jones Experience in town for one weekend only.

First United, now City - David Moyes is coming for you, Manchester. That bridge he burned when he took over from Sir Alex Ferguson is still smouldering.

Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Matt Slater as they speak with Canada Men's Football coach John Herdman. Herdman is bidding to qualify for men’s World Cup in Qatar next year for the first time since 1986, having previously seen success with Canada's women's team at the Olympics, winning two bronze medals.

Hosts Dan Bardell and Flo Lloyd-Hughes are joined by The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke, to discuss his article on the "inevitable" re-launch of a Super League... The trio reflect on its failure to launch earlier this year, discuss why it was more successful than many believe and what a 'Super-league 2.0' might actually look like... Think boxing meets the biennial World Cup! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Antonio Conte seems open to scorching the earth on which decades of Manchester United's success has been built, after saying he'd "be open to understanding the project". We all would, I think. Kate, Jim and Andy run through the latest spins of the managerial merry-go-round, as Newcastle look to finalise Steve Bruce's replacement. We also scrutinise David Beckham's ambassadorial role for Qatar 2022 and hear the latest of Gianni Infantino's World Cup format proposals, both of which we'd rather just went away to be honest.

Kate, Luke and Andy are here, counter-pressing the notion that Manchester United are any good after a horrendous showing against the Mo Salah Experience. Elsewhere, we wonder where it's all going wrong for Daniel Farke, rate some increasingly Josh King extroverted celebrations and decide that Pep Guardiola must be stopped - he's coaching random Brighton stewards, for Christ's sake.

Kate, Vish and Luke react to last night's changing of the European guard, with West Ham strutting their stuff and José Mourinho's Roma the victims in a brutal Scandinavian crime drama. We also look ahead to some tasty Premier League ties, as Leeds look to rediscover some form and Man United find themselves in Liverpool's crosshairs - all on today's Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

A busy week for Sounders FC means a jam-packed episode of Side x Side with your hosts Steve Zakuani and Brad Evans. First, a disappointing result at Houston Dynamo, but followed-up by a strong performance and eventual 1-1 draw at Colorado Rapids on Wednesday. Zak and Brad recap both matches, and assess where the Sounders stand ahead of the playoffs.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær's tribute act got away with another sloppy performance last night, though Ronnie's last-gasp winner couldn't cheer up Paul Scholes. Kate, Vish and Jim look over another cracking European #matchday before discussing Steve Bruce's unseemly tenure at Newcastle and if anyone can look back fondly on it. Vish also brings us another bizarre update from the Icardi family!

Liverpool scraped past Atlético Madrid in a thoroughly entertaining dingdong last night, even though a red card sent Simeone's men into near-uncharted levels of shithousery. Pete, Vish and Jim also check in with the latest on Tyneside, as other Premier League clubs kick up a fuss and Steve Bruce gets sacked live on air, and Ange Postecoglou continues to remain 110% Australian.

Hosts Dan Bardell and Flo Lloyd-Hughes are joined by The Athletic's Adam Crafton and Tas Melas (of NBA podcast 'No Dunks' fame) to dive into sport's global vaccination effort... Why the Premier League are still lagging behind major US sports leagues in terms of vaccine uptake, the 'conspiracy culture' in English football, how Qatar's vaccine mandate could rock the boat ahead of the World Cup next year and how Wolves managed to vaccinated their entire squad. Plus, more on the curious case of NBA superstar Kyrie Irving: Un-vaxxed and so un-able to play! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Newcastle's bunch of ragtag mercenaries probably saw yesterday's tussle with Tottenham as a chance to show the new owners what they're all about. So: Callum Wilson scored, Allan Saint-Maximin danced down some blind alleys and Jonjo Shelvey was sent off after 20 minutes. Standard. Jules, Luke and Pete blast through that and some other cracking games from the weekend, as Wolves and the Foxes complete outrageous comebacks and Liverpool's relentless form continued. Plus a steward scored with a dildo - make of that what you will.

Jules, Andy and Vish stop buying MesutCoin long enough to take stock of the latest news, with Chelsea impressing over in Turin and Phil Foden securing the quite outrageous bag. Elsewhere, we look over the slimming down of Ligue 1 and its implications for the rest of Europe, buy some of Özil's new crypto and hear of how a high school striker's 16 goals is causing a national stir.

England's swashbucklers cut through precisely sod all last night in an underwhelming draw with Hungary. Maybe we need... *more* attackers? Kate, Andy and Jim pick through that throwback performance and celebrate a vital derby win for Scotland in the Faroe Islands. We also wonder how Arsène Wenger can tarnish his legacy even further with more biennial World Cup nonsense and get to some of your dilemmas!
