The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Jimbo is back with Tim Spiers and Colin Millar for company after the first two quarter-finals go the distance at Euro 2024.

It’s not an easy watch but France are in the semi-finals after progressing past Portugal on penalties. Charlotte Harpur is feeling optimistic about the French style but how badly do they need a Giroud up front?

Spain stun hosts Germany with a victory secured in the last-minute of extra time by Mikel Merino. Seb Stafford-Bloor reflects on a German campaign where everyone can hold their heads high.

Saturday will see Netherlands face Turkey and England take on Switzerland. Valentin Schnorhk tells us how the best group of players the Swiss have ever had can make history and reach a semi-final for the very first time.

Produced by Charlie Jones.

Jimbo's joined in the studio by JJ Bull and Adrian Clarke to wrap up the last two round of 16 clashes at Euro 2024.

We begin with events in Leipzig - as Turkey hung on to progress to the quarterfinals for the first time in 16 years thanks to a stunning last-gasp save from goalkeeper Mert Gunok in their 2-1 win over Austria. Michael Cox stops by with his on the whistle thoughts on a rainy night in Saxony.

Earlier in the evening, the Netherlands confirmed safe passage to the last eight as they ultimately cruised to a 3-0 victory over Romania in Munich. Seb Stafford-Bloor gives us his match report - and a shoe update!

Then it's all eyes on Friday and Saturday's incredibly intriguing quarterfinal ties. Portuguese journalist David Novo's on the line to reflect on the Ronaldo saga and the role he could play against France on Friday night...

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander and Jay Harris into the studio after France and Portugal set up a quarter-final date in dramatic fashion.

Portugal overcome Slovenia on penalties after a 0-0 draw that revolves around Cristiano Ronaldo and his obsession with scoring. How much longer can Roberto Martinez indulge his captain and how annoyed must his team-mates be?

France need a late own goal to see off Belgium as they still wait for one of their own players to score from open play. Julien Laurens tells us why Didier Deschamps won’t be changing his approach any time soon.

And Tuesday sees the last day of last 16 action. Andreas Heidenreich explains what makes this Austria side so special as they aim to make it all the way to the final.

Jimbo is joined by Tom Williams, Mark Carey, Daniel Storey and Kristof Terreur after another day of drama at Euro 2024.

England are through to the quarter-finals after a last-gasp comeback against Slovakia. But it’s yet another unconvincing display from Gareth Southgate’s side. With Switzerland coming next, what can the England manager do to get them firing? Is Phil Foden the one who has to make way?

Georgia give Spain a scare but La Roja show their class in a 4-1 win. Up next - Germany.

Monday’s last 16 ties will see France take on Belgium in the latest chapter in their rivalry. And Portugal face Slovenia with a certain Cristiano Ronaldo looking to finally get on the scoresheet.

Jimbo's joined by Adrian Clarke and Sasha Goryunov to look back on an eventful first evening of round of 16 ties at Euro 2024.

We begin in Dortmund, where there was lightning, thunder and torrential rain - but it didn't stop Germany from getting the job done in a 2-0 victory over Denmark which wasn't without VAR drama. Seb Stafford-Bloor checks in from a wet and wild Westfalenstadion.

Then to Berlin - where holders Italy crashed out of the tournament following a pretty dismal showing against Switzerland in a 2-0 defeat. Michael Cox and James Horncastle are on hand to bring reaction - and ponder what next for the Azzurri and their manager Luciano Spalletti.

Finally, it's all eyes on the next two round of 16 ties coming our way on Sunday - with Spain taking on Georgia after England face Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen. Kristian Flak drops in to bring us a flavour of the mood from Bratislava ahead of the game.

Produced by Lucy Oliva.

While Team Totally catches up on their zzzs ahead of the knockouts, we want to tell you about our upcoming live show!

Join Jimbo, the stats-tastic Duncan Alexander, the utterly Gallic Julien Laurens, the enigmatic Producer Charlie and a special mystery guest* at the Leicester Square Theatre in London's West End on Tuesday October the 8th. We'll talk about what's going on in the Premier League, discuss who'll be doing what in the revamped Champions League, and tell you tales that are just far too spicy for the regular pod.

Tickets are on sale now - and you can get full details at leicestersquaretheatre.com, or by searching for 'Totally Football Show live' on your Google machine

__

* The mystery guest is quite probably James Horncastle, but he's a little tied up at the moment and we can't remember if he just agreed to the show in principle when we asked him a few weeks ago or whether he did indeed 100% confirm. Keep listening to the pod and following us on X to stay up to date.

Jimbo's got Charlie Eccleshare and Colin Millar alongside him - plus a variety of special guests over in Germany - as the Euro 2024 group stages reach their conclusion.

We begin with events in Group F - which saw Georgian heroics as they booked their place in the last 16 in their first ever appearance at a major tournament after the 2-0 win over Portugal. Nika Kevkhishvili joins us to revel in the momentous victory. But heartbreak for the Czechs, sent packing after the 2-1 defeat by Turkey in Hamburg.

It's fair to say it wasn't such a thrilling conclusion to Group E - with Slovakia and Romania playing out a 1-1 draw which Carl Anka was on hand to witness - and boos ringing out for Belgium after their goalless draw with Ukraine. Dom Fifield joins us from Stuttgart to reflect the sour mood amongst the Red Devils support base...

With two rest days incoming before the round of 16 begins in earnest over the weekend - we take a look ahead to the full line-up of fixtures - and speak to Rafa Honigstein ahead of Germany v Denmark on Saturday night...

Jimbo is accompanied by Tom Williams, Jay Harris and many more after an exciting day and dull night of Euro action.

England top Group C but only after another insipid display and a 0-0 with Slovenia. Is there any chance of them turning this form around? And do Southgate’s substitutions show that he doesn’t have the answers?

Elsewhere Austria win a thriller with the Dutch to sensationally top Group D at the expense of France, thanks to Lewandowski’s double stutter. Julien Laurens highlights the issues facing Didier Deschamps now.

Plus we look ahead to Wednesday’s action where Ukraine look to inspire again

Jimbo's joined by Duncan Alexander and Sasha Goryunov to reflect on the dramatic climax to Group B at Euro 2024.

We begin in Leipzig - where Mattia Zaccagni scored in the final minute of stoppage time as Italy broke Croatian hearts with a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw that ensures the defending champions progress to the last 16 - and leaves Luka Modrić and co all but eliminated. A beer-soaked Tim Spiers dials in on the final whistle before James Horncastle reports back from a rather spiky Luciano Spalletti press conference...

No such drama for Spain, who cruised into the next round with their third victory and third clean sheet of the tournament in their 1-0 win over Albania (which happened to assure the Three Lions of a spot in the next round...). Michael Cox is on hand to tell us more from the Düsseldorf Arena.

Then, it's all eyes on Group C and D who face their final outings on matchday three. We get the Slovenian perspective from journalist Miran Zore ahead of their meeting with England - and preview the fortunes of the other sides in action on a bumper day 12 out in Germany.

Produced by Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo welcomes Adrian Clarke, Dom Fifield and many more on another sad night for Scottish football.

The Tartan Army are heading home after a last-gasp defeat against Hungary in Stuttgart. Did Scotland let themselves down? Or do they lack depth physically and technically?

Germany also need a stoppage time equaliser against Switzerland to confirm top spot in Group A as questions are asked again about the defence.

Italy take on Croatia in the standout game on Monday night. James Horncastle sets the scene as the Azzurri’s hold on the trophy hangs in the balance.

Plus we discuss Harry Kane’s comments about England players turned pundits. Should they be cheerleaders or should the current crop expect to be criticised?

Produced by Charlie Jones.

Jimbo's got Sasha Goryunov, Liam Tharme and Seb Stafford-Bloor alongside him to capture all the fallout from Day 9 at the Euros.

Belgium finally turned up in their 2-0 win over Romania to mean Group E is fascinatingly poised - with all four teams sat on three points going into the final round of matches. Michael Cox drops in from Cologne to talk us through the game.

Portugal booked their place in the round of 16 as Group F winners after their comfortable 3-0 win over Turkey, while substitute Saba Lobjanidze wasted a golden chance for Georgia with *literally* the final kick of the game as the debutants claimed a first ever point in a major tournament with a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic - which does neither many favours.

Plus, an opportunity to look ahead to Sunday's action - which sees Switzerland face hosts Germany and Scotland take on Hungary. AFP's Kieran Canning joins us to preview the Tartan Army's crunch tie which could see them reach the knockout phase of a major tournament for the first time ever...

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander and Mark Carey into the studio as we see our first elimination from Euro 2024.

Poland are gone but we should be seeing a lot more of France and the Netherlands who battle to a 0-0 in Leipzig. No France player has scored a goal yet - how badly do they need Mbappe back?

Are the dark horses back? Austria dismantle the Poles and look like making a real impact at this tournament. Tim Spiers tells us more from Berlin.

And Ukraine come from behind to beat Slovakia and reignite their campaign.

Plus we look ahead to Saturday’s action. Jose Delgado details why Portugal fans feel frustrated with Martinez. And we could be set for an incredible finale in Group E.

Jimbo, Adrian Clarke and Benji Lanyado are in the studio after England fail to live up to expectations but Spain definitely don’t.

It’s 4 points from 2 games for Gareth Southgate’s side but the performances seem to be getting worse. We try to get to the bottom of things and wonder whether England are the worst coached team at the Euros.

Spain took on Italy. Or was it Man City v Burnley? La Roja batter the Azzurri 1-0 with Nico Williams providing perhaps the standout performance of the tournament.

Plus Julien Laurens joins us to look at France’s clash with Netherlands and specifically the state of Kylian Mbappe’s nose.

Jimbo has Sasha Goryunov, Mark Carey and Seb Stafford-Bloor alongside him for your daily dose of Euro 2024 reaction.

There was late drama as Portugal snatched all three points in a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic courtesy of a stoppage time goal from super sub Francisco Conceição. Tim Spiers was in Leipzig and joined us at the final whistle.

Elsewhere, Turkey and Georgia produced the game of the tournament so far in a thrilling encounter in the pouring rain in Dortmund - with teenage superstar Arda Güler scoring a wondergoal as part of a 3-1 victory for Vincenzo Montella's side.

We take a closer look ahead to Wednesday's action and the second matchday for Group A and B - including the small matter of Scotland v Switzerland. Jordan Campbell stops by as we gauge the mood ahead of what could prove to be a must win game for Steve Clarke's side.

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams to recap a busy day of action at Euro 2024.

France get the job done in a tight 1-0 victory over Austria - but it wasn't particularly pretty from Mbappé and co - who's tournament *could* be in jeopardy after breaking his nose...

A beleaguered Belgium saw TWO Romelu Lukaku goals disallowed as they were stunned in a 1-0 defeat by Slovakia.

Meanwhile, Romania returned to the Euros in style with a 3-0 thrashing of Ukraine - back on this stage for the first time since 2016 AND recording their biggest ever win in the competition. Romanian football expert Emanuel Roşu reflects on a seismic day in Munich.

Are there ominous signs for England with a group rocked by shock squad selections and a defence that might not be good enough for a major tournament?

Kristof Terreur isn’t feeling too optimistic about Belgium’s chances, even though they’re unbeaten under Domenico Tedesco.

We make the case for which teams will surprise everyone this summer, notably Ralf Rangnick’s Austria and Sylvinho’s Albania.

Recorded on the eve of England's first ever Euro final, we look back at their darkest day in the tournament when, in the shadow of the Brexit vote, Roy Hodgson's side crashed out to Iceland at France 2016. Oh, how we laughed at the time. Elsewhere, Wales made history, Italy and Germany participated in the worst penalty shoot out of all time, and Portugal and Ronaldo had a shot at redemption. It's Euro 2016 - and the final in our delightful Euro Stories series. Only a few more sleeps now till Euro 2024, and Jimbo and co will be with every night there's a game on. Woof!

This is the penultimate episode of Euro Stories series, and our timeline has taken us all the way to 2012. This tournament is again co-hosted, with Poland and Ukraine sharing the honours. Now, we wrote and recorded this show in 2021 and a lot has happened in the world since. That's why we don't mention the war or any of the hideous things that have happened in Ukraine in the past two and half years - but do talk an awful lot about two fiendishly taxing groups, Andy Carroll, and a lot of spying.

It's 2008 and the world is obsessed with Barack Obama and Beyonce. Football-wise, we're more interested in events at Austria and Switzerland because it's Euro 2008 and it's great. Yes, there's no England, they failed in the rain at Wembley against Croatia. But there's Spain's tiki taka, Turkey's late late goal scoring, and one hell of a thunderstorm. Oh, and there's the French doing, well, nothing really. It's Euro 2008 and it's here.

For the Reds, it’s a second home defeat in 4 days as Glasner’s Palace get the job done. With all the chasing they’ve had to do in games, has this poor run been coming?

Arsenal are undone by former manager Unai Emery whose Villa side make huge strides towards next season’s Champions League. Is there any hope of catching the champions? And can the Gunners pick themselves up for Bayern on Wednesday?

Elsewhere, wilting Tottenham come up against the best finisher in the Premier League. And it’s another matchday in which Man United concede at least 20 shots.

Plus Stockport, Wrexham and one of the worst mistakes in Premier League history.

Jimbo is joined in the studio by Raphael Honigstein, Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams after some exhilarating Champions League quarter-finals.

It was a midweek in which Bayern and Harry Kane turned up. Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe? Not so much.

Penalty shouts dominate the conversation at the Emirates but after holding the Gunners to a draw, can Bayern be as effective and counter-attack next week in Munich? And has Kane added a new spot-kick to his arsenal?

Longe range goals galore at the Bernabeu as holders Man City draw 3-3 with Real Madrid. And it’s another bad night for Donnarumma in the Champions League at the Parc Des Princes.

The Premier League weekend sees Unai Emery return to leaders Arsenal with Aston Villa, while the teams at the other end look to take advantage of Everton’s extra 2 point deduction.

Plus the coefficient dance, the cool Euro Pulis and the player with the most shots without scoring.

Bayern are beaten again ahead of their trip to Arsenal in the Champions League. Have they ever been at a lower ebb heading into a quarter-final? Is it damage limitation for Thomas Tuchel?

A well rested Real Madrid take on holders Man City, Atletico and Dortmund are happy to be playing each other and one of our panel thinks PSG are heading all the way to the final.

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Charlie Eccleshare and Jay Harris after a hugely dramatic Premier League weekend with twists and turns at both ends of the table.

Liverpool dominate chaotic Man United at Old Trafford but once again cannot beat the Red Devils. Is it wastefulness that will cost Jurgen Klopp’s side the title? And can there be any case for Erik ten Hag staying at Old Trafford next season? 

Arsenal go top on goal difference after an impressive 3-0 win at Brighton, with Havertz reaping rewards again. But what happens if they go behind? And will their exploits against Bayern affect them?

Man City also ease past Palace with Kevin De Bruyne showing he’s not done while Jack Grealish might be coming back to prominence.

At the other end, there are big wins for Everton and Luton, plus Brentford bag a point in one of the games at weekend at Villa. Where will Thomas Frank be next season?

Man City dismantle Aston Villa thanks to a Phil Foden hat-trick. Is he becoming the frontrunner for the player of the year award or could it be his learned friend Rodri?

City are still behind Arsenal in the table who rotate but still ease past Luton. Do Pep and Arteta’s sides face potential banana skins at Palace and Brighton respectively this weekend?

For Liverpool, it’s another trip to Old Trafford on Sunday. Will the shots continue to rain down on Man United’s goal and has Casemiro been unfairly maligned this season?

Juventus were challenging for the title two months ago but now their place in the top 4 is in real jeopardy. Where has it gone wrong for Max Allegri and the Old Lady?

Leverkusen make it 38 games unbeaten as the Bundesliga title becomes increasingly inevitable. Could David Moyes be the first manager to beat Xabi Alonso this season?
