England vs Norway QF preview - who starts at right-back?
09/07/2026 | 41 min
Ali, George and Dave look ahead to England's World Cup quarter-final against Erling Haaland's Norway. Who will Tuchel start at right-back now that Quansah is suspended? (for two games, it turns out)
Is Reece James fit enough to start? Will it be Djed's turn? Or will he shift Konsa over and bring Stones, or even Dan Burn, in at centre-back?
Will Bellingham, Rice, Guehi and O'Reilly being one yellow away from a suspension come into Tuchel's thinking?

England beat Mexico 3-2 at the Azteca!
06/07/2026 | 24 min
Oh my God. In an absolutely ridiculous match, England win at the Azteca against Mexico. Jude Bellingham scored twice. There was a penalty apiece and a red card for Jarell Quansah. Just bonkers. We loved it. We hated it. How about you? Go well.

A show for England football fans, by England fans. Ali Maxwell, George Elek and David Walker have all travelled across continents to watch England play, and loved covering the team during Euro 2024. The England Pod believes that supporting England should be fun, and this show sets out to make it a reality for the millions of English football fans.
Expect passion, humour, and plenty of debates about squad selection. The England Pod will cover the England Mens Senior Team, the Lionesses and the England Under-21s, with match recaps, tournament previews and balanced discussion of key issues. There will also be interviews, retrospectives, and more.
If there are Three Lions on the shirt, we want to talk about it.
