Jack Pitt-Brooke is joined by Jonathan Liew and Luke Brown, as they look back at England's famous 2-1 win over Croatia on Sunday afternoon and ask whether this was the best England game to be held at the new Wembley Stadium over the last 11 years. Or was there a better game in another sport played there?Sunday afternoon felt like a vindication for the Nations League format, which will climax in Porto next June. Have UEFA been proved right by how competitive these games are? And what connections can we draw between the teams who have been the most successful so far?It has been a remarkable year for the England team and the team discuss the steady improvement, which meant that reaching the World Cup semi-finals has not been the peak for this team as they have continued to develop since then. The 4-3-3 appears to have made England more dangerous than the 3-5-2 ever did, but how?Finally we look back at the England career of a man who won 11 caps under Steve McClaren as a teenager before fading into obscurity far quicker than anyone could have imagined.

On today’s show Jack Pitt-Brooke stays in caretaker charge and he is joined by chief football writer Miguel Delaney and ESPN’s Liam Twomey.One third of the way into the Premier League season, they discuss the clearer distinctions of the Premier League table and whether Manchester City will start to pull away at the top. Is it unfair to judge Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool if they cannot catch them? Does he have to win the title to be a success there? And are Liverpool – like their rivals – waiting until Guardiola eventually steps aside in 2020 or 2021? This is the international fortnight and so attention moves onto the Wayne Rooney Foundation International at Wembley on Thursday night. Is it a nice tribute to a great player? Or is it an embarrassing devaluing of what it means to play for England? And if Rooney is devaluing what it means to play for England, then what about all the other, lesser players to wear the shirt in recent years? Then after the international break is the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final between River Plate and Boca Juniors, which Miguel is flying out for. He tells us what to expect and the special status the Libertadores still enjoys. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On today’s Indy Football Podcast, stand-in host Jack Pit-Brooke is joined by chief football writer Miguel Delaney and chief sports writer Jonathan Liew. The trio discuss their different experiences of Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool on Saturday evening, and how writing about a football game changes your experience of it. Can you take bias out of football journalism? What about emotion?Then we move onto this season’s title race and whether we expect Manchester City to rack up another 100 points. Is this Manchester City hegemony good for the Premier League? Where will it all end? Given what we learned from Football Leaks this week, what is the immediate future for the top end of the professional game? Is football finished as we know it? Hosted on Acast.
