About this listen

 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.The England Pod Football (American) Football (Soccer)

    Selecting World Cup squads, six months out
    Dec 23 2025
    Ali, Dave and George get together and unveil their own 26-player England squads for the World Cup in six months time. Who will stay true to Thomas Tuchel's way of thinking, and who will go rogue? Who are the major omissions, and who are the wild cards picks? We all have our own opinions, and it's always a worthy exercise to actually force yourself to make the final decisions!

  • England fans are being priced out of the World Cup and it's a disgrace

    England fans are being priced out of the World Cup and it's a disgrace
    Dec 12 2025
    Dave and George gather to vent their frustrations at the predictably ludicrous ticket prices that have been announced for the England supporters club ahead of next summer's World Cup. With loyal fans being asked to pay more than $200 for the worst seats at a group game, let alone several thousands for the later rounds, how many fans can we expect to see cheering on Thomas Tuchel's side in Dallas, Boston and New Jersey in June? And what, if anything, can be done about it? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Croatia, Panama, Ghana - underwhelming? tricky? bit of both?

    Croatia, Panama, Ghana - underwhelming? tricky? bit of both?
    Dec 8 2025
    Ali, George and Dave react to England being drawn in World Cup Group L to face Croatia, Panama and Ghana in Dallas, Boston and New Jersey. Technically one of the tougher draws we could have got on paper but should we really be worried? Should we be more concerned about the amount of travel, the heat, and where on earth are Tuchel's squad going to be based out there? There's also reflection on a frankly ludicrous draw ceremony itself on Friday night and a look at some of the issues that might overshadow the tournament next summer Learn more about your ad choices.
