Hosted by Chuck SmithThe German national team destroyed Bosnia and Herzegovina 7-0 in a match that was just an all-out, thorough domination by the Germans from start to finish.Jamal Musiala’s early goal set the tone for the match, which was as good as the team has looked under Julian Nagelsmann.

There are a lot of fun categories we take a look at...the good, the bad, and everything in between.With Bayern Munich on a hiatus, there was no better time to do this and have all of our minds take a little break from what has been a crazy few weeks for the Bavarians.So, enjoy this if you are into it...or don’t listen if you are not...just be rest assured, we will be turning back to our normal coverage ASAP!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
