George grills Liam Delap, Sam Iling-Junior and CJ Egan-Riley about their England fandom, and Ali & George chat around some of the topics raised, including the next England player to win the Ballon D'Or, Man City's dominance in England youth age groups, Ashley Cole the Hall of Famer & more.

Robyn Cowen is joined by the Telegraph's Kathryn Batte to reflect on the Lionesses double-header against Belgium: a 5-0 win followed by a 2-3 defeat. While there's discussion of a dominant display at Ashton Gate and Michelle Agyemang's incredible debut goal, there's also plenty of question marks chucked up by the Jekyll and Hyde nature of the two displays from Sarina Wiegman's side: issues at left-back, Hampton vs Earps rumbles on in goal, and Russo seems more crucial than ever.

Thomas Tuchel will name his first England squad later this week, so Ali, George and Dave have gone through every area of the team to assess the choices the new gaffer has to wrestle with. Does Trent Alexander-Arnold finally have the right back slot all to himself? Will Lewis-Skelly take advantage of Lewis Hall's injury and get a first call up? Is it Guehi and one other at centre-back? Could Wharton get his competitive debut after not seeing the pitch at the Euros? Who plays on the right in Saka's absence? Which role will Bellingham play under Tuchel? Does Watkins have any chance of dislodging Harry Kane up top? And what about the stats which say James Trafford is the best goalkeeper in the world?
