Ashley and Harry react instantly to a controlled but slightly underwhelming England performance, discussing Harry Kane’s goal, the lack of cutting edge in the final third, Tuchel’s full-squad rotation, set-piece concerns, and what the game told us ahead of Costa Rica.

There’s also debate on Jed Spence’s impressive display, the Stones/Guehi/Konza centre-back question, Rio Ngumoha’s surprise involvement, Ivan Toney’s role as a tournament specialist, and whether England are keeping their powder dry or still searching for sharpness.

A win, no injuries, and total control — but should England fans have wanted more?

In our first show, Ashley, Charlie, Sam and Harry react to Thomas Tuchel’s England World Cup squad and the huge talking points around his selections. Is leaving out players like Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Harry Maguire, Adam Wharton and Trent Alexander-Arnold a brave tactical call, or a decision that could come back to haunt England?

We discuss the biggest omissions, the surprise inclusions, England’s likely starting XI, Jude Bellingham’s best role, the Jordan Henderson debate, Ivan Toney’s place in the squad, defensive concerns, left-back problems, and whether this team has enough to finally end the wait for a major trophy.

It’s passionate, chaotic, opinionated and very English — exactly how a new England football podcast should begin.
