Talking Tuchel, defeat for France and a big win for Brazil

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Jimbo is joined in the studio by Duncan Alexander, Jack Lang and Tom Williams on that most blessed of occasions - international week.

Thomas Tuchel gets ready for his first game as England manager in World Cup qualifying and we’re all very impressed with how he’s handled the media so far.

The Nations League quarter-finals see Germany win in Italy and Croatia overcome France thanks to another ridiculously good Luke Modric performance.

Belgium lose a 4th game in a row in what was Rudi Garcia’s 4th match in charge. Which makes us wonder why French managers aren’t coaching at elite club level anymore?

Brazil leap up the table in CONMEBOL qualifying thanks to a dramatic late win over Colombia.

Plus trademark celebrations, CONCACAF Nations League drama and Quenda we get to see Chelsea’s new signing?
