The Totally Football Show with James Richardson · Bellingham inspires England to a semi-final with Argentina · 12 Jul 2026 podcast

set up and go wow you know that is actual Alvarez doing what Alvarez does you know kind of strange but I saw I saw Felipe's beloved Colombia lose to Switzerland in Vancouver and the one thing that I know Akanji's penalty was dreadful but the one thing that Yakin had absolutely nailed was the shootout the way he managed the huddle beforehand and the energy in the huddle I wrote about it afterwards you could tell that Switzerland knew they had it you know they knew they were going to win that shootout or they were super confident that they were going to win it

So that is a mega, mega goal from Alvarez because I think Argentina would have been in... Swiss goalkeeper is excellent.

I think they'd have been in all sorts of trouble if that had gone to penalties.

Well, the chant to me at full-time was, if you're not jumping, if you're not bouncing, you're an Englishman.

I was amazed to read earlier this week that neither Michael Oliver or Anthony Taylor will be allowed to do the final, referee the final, if Argentina get there, specifically because of the Falklands conflict, which I suppose is probably just about recent enough and, as Felipe said, it is still raw in Argentina in particular.

But it does make me wonder how far you would go back with that, like the Spanish Armada or so.

Phil?

Well, I've been goading Tim all day by telling him that England will beat Argentina.

And I'll die on that hill.

I think they absolutely will.

Why?

Because I think England have...

younger squad i think they have a slightly deeper squad i think i think argentina's top individual is better than anybody in the england side but i think between players like bellingham and kane and and two hills set up as well i think they'll run argentina hard

I think they'll work at Argentina far harder than anybody else has to this point.

And I do think there's going to come a point where Argentina get found out messy or no messy.

So England in that one.

I can't bring myself to not back France because France look like winners all ends up.

I was at Spain-Belgium and I went to Delefuente's press conference beforehand and afterwards and I watched him play.

And the confidence of the Spanish has to be kind of felt to be believed.

They're absolutely oozing it.
