Is Jack Grealish the answer to England’s problems? I The Game podcast

Lee Carsley shocked England fans by playing a left footer on the left, and it worked, for the first half at least. Charlotte Duncker, Tom Allnutt and Alyson Rudd join Tom Clarke to assess the performance against Ireland. What does Tyrick Mitchell have to do to get a call up and has Angel Gomes ever driven a bus? Plus, a look at Craig Bellamy’s Wales and is it time for Ronaldo to retire? The Game football podcast is here twice a week as the new season starts. It’s the thinking fan’s podcast for the debate, the tactics, the personalities, injuries, goals and substitutions - whatever it takes to enjoy every nuance of The Game, even if the team has to go to extra time, or penalties to reach an agreement! Presented by Tom Clarke with contributors including Martin Samuel, Jonathan Northcroft, Charlotte Duncker, Hamzah Khalique-Loonat, Gregor Robertson, Alyson Rudd and others.
