Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas Tuchel

England finally got their World Cup underway and it was worth the wait as they beat Croatia 4-2 in an entertaining game.Two goals for captain and talisman Harry Kane, one for Bellingham and Rashford and a performance that at times resembled the high intensity Premier League type game that manager Thomas Tuchel has so often talked about. There were issues defensively and Tuchel wasn't happy at half time, but it was a win, an impressive one, and England had a cutting edge.Tom Clarke gets immediate reaction from Matt Lawton who was at the game in Dallas, and is then joined by Gregor Robertson and Alyson RuddIn the second half Tom Allnutt reports from an underwhelming performance by Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal.

 Anglia szykuje się do mundialu, ale zamiast spokoju wokół kadry Thomasa Tuchela pojawiła się gorąca dyskusja. Brak kilku głośnych nazwisk i rosnące oczekiwania - atmosfera wokół ekipy Trzech Lwów jest gorąca, jak zawsze przy okazji wielkiego turnieju.

Qui est le VRAI boss de la Ligue 1 depuis 2012 ?

England finished off their World Cup warmups with a 3-0 win over Costa Rica in Orlando, but only after they'd been made to wait by adverse weather. Declan Rice, Anthony Gordon and Ollie Watkins scored as attention now turns to the game against Croatia next week, as Thomas Tuchel's men look to finally bring football home. Back on domestic soil, one of England's stars is the subject of a mega-money bid from Manchester City. Elliot Anderson is a wanted man, with City reportedly having bid over £100m for the Nottingham Forest midfielder. Despite being no longer a Premier League side, Wolves are making headlines too. They've sacked Rob Edwards just days after he was instrumental in the signings of Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez, and are replacing him with Portuguese boss Cesar Peixoto.

I det allra sista avsnittet av Expressen Fotboll VM-special stänger vi gruppspelsgenomgången med att syna Grupp L: England, Kroatien, Ghana och Panama. England leds numera av tysken Thomas Tuchel, vars obekväma petningar av flera storstjärnor har rört upp känslor. Truppen är dock extremt talangfull och mycket hopp ställs till Jude Bellingham och Harry Kane, även om panelen tippar ett engelskt respass redan i kvartsfinalen. Bakom dem väntas en tuff kamp om andraplatsen, där Therese Strömberg sticker ut hakan och tippar att ett offensivt spetsigt Ghana slår ut ett åldrande Kroatien, som dessutom hämmas av att storstjärnan Luka Modric tvingas spela i en frustrerande ansiktsmask. I botten tippas Panama komma toksist, och panelen konstaterar förvånat att de helt hade förträngt landets senaste VM-deltagande 2018. Panamas enda chans till poäng spås bli om boxningslegendaren Roberto Duran kliver in och håller ett ikoniskt peptalk inför matcherna. Avslutningsvis knyter podden ihop säcken för hela VM-uppladdningen genom att påminna om Expressens matiga VM-guide, samt tipsa om att följa Expressen Fotbolls livesändningar varje dag mellan 09.00 och 10.00 under hela mästerskapet!Ansvarig utgivare: Klas Granström

Imagine you are in the circus, watching a tightrope walker who's been on the sauce.He sways, the crowd gasps, he sways again, more gasps, and yet somehow he doesn't fall. This goes on and on and eventually you get bored watching. That, it seems to me, is Britain.Public debt is now knocking on £3 trillion. (Remember you could have spent a million pounds every day since Jesus was born and still not have spent a trillion - that's how incomprehensible a sum a trillion is). Interest payments now run at over £110 billion a year - more than we spend on education. Debt-to-GDP hovers around 100%. Growth is wilted. Productivity is like blancmange. Taxes are everywhere and record-breaking. Waste and bloat and bureaucracy are rampant.But the political response to every problem is the same: spend more.Despite all of this, like our inebriated tight rope walker, sterling refuses to drop. The pound trades around $1.35. The gilt market continues to function. The bond vigilantes, whoever these mystical people are, appear to be away at lunch with Lord Lucan..Why?The answer begins with a simple but often overlooked fact that currencies are not valued absolutely, but relatively.You look at Britain's fiscal position and conclude the pound must fall, but against what?It's not like the US isn't running unthinkable deficits. Interest payments are exploding there too. The eurozone is if anything more trapped in low growth than we are. Japan's debt burden is legendary. Never mind the oil, Canada is a basket case. Australian regulation is doing its best to revive the traditions of the penal colony and China has its own economic and demographic headaches.All currencies are crapThen there are interest rates. Britain still offers relatively attractive yields. Ten-year gilts yield around 5%. That may be painful for the Chancellor, whatever her name is, but it is attractive to those looking for income. Japan, the US and most of Europe offer less. Higher interest rates support the pound. They attract computerised capital from around the world, which buys sterling to get the yield.London remains a financial centre, albeit it one in over-regulated decline. There is still some rule of law and some respect for property rights. The UK is not yet Zimbabwe, Turkey or Venezuela, even if it may feel that way. A country can be badly governed for a surprisingly long time before capital completely loses confidence.However, none of the underlying problems have actually been fixed, nor are they going to be fixed. We are still spending £48,000 per household through the state. You'll get greater productivity out of a plate of blancmange. Taxes are not coming down. We are locked in promise, spend, borrow, tax, repeat.Here's another possibility. The tightrope walker may never fall off. But with each step, the tightrope itself gets closer to the ground.The pound has lost over 40% of its purchasing power just since 2020. In 2007 a pound cost $2.10, so we are down a third against another unit which in itself is hopeless. Measured against the constant that is gold, the pound has fallen over 95% since the Gordon Brown sales of 1999.Here are those declines visualised.The framing is all wrong. The collapse is not sudden but ongoing. Maybe we don't get a dramatic crisis. No Black Wednesday, no run on the pound, no emergency press conference outside the Bank of England or wheelbarrows full of digital bank notes. Just more of this relentless decline. Every year a bit more debt, a bit more printing, a bit more inflation, another 7% loss of purchasing power, a bit more government spending, a bit more taxation, year after year, decade after decade. The tightrope gets lower and lower but nobody notices because we are all looking at the walker.Alf Ramsay was on £4,500 a year. Thomas Tuchel gets £5 million. That didn't happen over night. It was cumulative, incremental and compounded. The endgame remains debasementNot just in the UK but everywhere. In a democracy where politicians need votes they will ALWAYS choose inflation over austerity, spending over restraint and dilution over default. This is built in. The incentives are too powerful. They will sacrifice the currency to preserve the system.Nothing changes until the system itself changes.Perhaps the tightrope walker never falls. But the rope keeps inching lower and lower until one day it is running along the ground.The crowd applauds because there was no crash. Meanwhile the currency has lost another 98% of its value.That is where this is going, gradually but relentlessly. Not with a bang, but with a long, slow debasement.Sterling has been “collapsing” for decades, and it will “collapse' for many decades more, likewise dollars and euros and yen.The debasement of currency is not a new thing, though we have never seen it globally in the way it exists today. Gold has seen it happen many times before and it has survived every time. It will survive tsunamis, earthquakes and explosions. National currencies will not.Tell someone about this great postThanks for reading the Flying Frisby.Until next time,DominicIf you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe.

This is Ollie Watkins reflecting on a journey that very few footballers ever experience - opening up on going from League Two and non-league football to scoring one of England's biggest goals in recent history. Chilling with Rio in his Airbnb, Watkins reveals why he still thinks about those early days every time he walks out for Aston Villa in the Champions League.Despite becoming one of the Premier League's most consistent forwards, Watkins remains hugely grounded throughout this conversation - discussing the impatience that drove him early in his career, the responsibility he felt during Steven Gerrard's time at Aston Villa and why Unai Emery completely changed the standards and mentality within the squad.There's fascinating insight into the mentality of elite strikers too, including why Erling Haaland's role is “so difficult”, how studying Ruud van Nistelrooy helped develop his instincts inside the box and why Harry Kane's leadership is more about standards than shouting.Watkins also explains the challenge of being used as an impact substitute for England and reveals the voice note he sent to friends before his huge semi-final goal after growing frustrated on the bench.The pair also discuss Thomas Tuchel's arrival as England manager, why the squad are already buying into his demand for more arrogance and confidence, and how nobody in the camp can beat him at table tennis. Plus brilliant stories and insight on Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford, Morgan Rogers, Phil Foden and why Watkins believes criticism of Gareth Southgate was completely unfair.There's also a brilliant look into dressing room culture and player personalities - from fashion disasters in the France squad and ping-pong battles at England camp to why Michael Owen's advice means more than anybody else's and the underrated qualities that make Ezri Konsa such a difficult defender to play against.Brought to you in partnership with Airbnb #ad Hosted on Acast.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, and Thomas Tuchel has finalized his England squad for the tournament. Frank and Eddie analyze some of his selections. Eddie explains that he understands that the inclusion of Henderson, Madueke, and Gordon shows that Tuchel wants a squad that fits his system, but will it work?  The Premier League season wrapped up with Arsenal as champions, Manchester City slipping up again, and Spurs narrowly avoiding relegation at the expense of West Ham. Roland Garros is underway in Paris, with some of the world's top players on both the ATP and WTA tours protesting prize money, but Eddie thinks they're being tone-deaf with some of their complaints.  Plus, Hull beat Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final following the controversy of 'spygate'. The Enhanced Games failed to deliver many world records, and would you go out of your way to attend a championship parade?
