Upfront: The Lionesses roar on and Germany stifle France Jul 28, 2022

Show notes

Flo, Rachel and Chloe have just about composed themselves after two cracking semi-finals, where Germany edged out France and England smashed Sweden in Sheffield.

We're here to get stuck into it all: Alessia Russo's backheel, that Alexandra Popp masterclass and the end of France's blistering tournament.

Show notes

It's crunch time! Flo, Rachel and Chloe are here with all you need to know ahead of two mouthwatering semi-finals, as the tournament's four best sides jostle for a place in the final.

First up is the Lionesses vs Sweden; we debate who should start for Sarina Wiegman and assess their opponent's strengths. Then, in what could easily result in a penalty shootout or a 8-0 win, France's chaotic beauty goes up against some ruthless German efficiency.

Upfront: France best the Dutch, Austria give Germany a fright and Sweden break Belgian hearts Jul 24, 2022

Show notes

And then there were four! Flo, Chloe and Rachel look back over three closely-fought quarter-finals, where some tournament favourites struggled to make their mark. Even if the Netherlands defence did resemble that Peter Kay football advert.

Plus, which player rents out bouncy castles for a living and would Mark Parsons improve with a blonde wig? Come join us!

Upfront: England battle through to the semi-finals Jul 21, 2022

Show notes

What a night! But it certainly wasn’t eazaaay. England came back from behind to oust a rampant Spain thanks to Ella Toooonay and, well, an absolute howitzer from Georgia Stanway!

Flo, Chloe and Rachel relive the night and their experience of it from pitchside, the stands and - in Chloe’s case - lots of bars. Plus, more feisty polling!

Upfront: Belgium make history, Denmark are out, and England kick off the quarter-finals! Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

Even though the quarter-final line-up is sorted, we can't quite agree on who should be there. Iceland will feel unlucky, but should Denmark?

Flo, Rachel and Chloe also look ahead to England's first proper test as they take on Spain in tomorrow's quarter-final, with all you need to know about where the game might be won or lost. Come on England!

Upfront: English overconfidence, Kenny Shiels' bizarre comments, and a Norwegian implosion Jul 16, 2022

Show notes

Flo, Rachel and Chloe are here to wave England through to the quarter-finals after their 5-0 win. We wonder if Alessia Russo should start over Ellen White and highlight some lingering overconfidence England will need to stamp out.

Elsewhere, Marie-Antoinette Katoto's injury took away from another France victory - and our dark horses fell at the first hurdle! What do we know...

With the second round of group games we’re starting to see who might make a splash this summer, with Sweden and Netherlands leading a four-horse race in Group C!

Show notes

Flo, Rachel and Chloe just about make it to the studio after a chaotic night in Brighton, where England blew Norway to pieces! 8-0! Have some of that!

We report back from the Amex and wonder how vital Sarina Wiegman is to England's chances. We also look over the other main contenders, including a sumptuous France performance, and tip the hat to Northern Ireland after their hopes of qualification were extinguished by Austria.
