Breaking records and hearts at Arsenal

Michelle Owen is joined by Michael Cox, Charlotte Harpur, Mark Carey and Laia Cervelló Herrero to reflect on the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023. Well the final has been played and Spain have won. Their 1-0 victory over the Lionesses sees La Roja go from entering the tournament with internal strife and acrimony, being humiliated 4-0 by Japan in the group stages; to winning the whole thing. As for England; they fell at the final hurdle. Producer: Steve Hankey Exec Producer: Abi Paterson Honorary Producer: Chloe the koala Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Michelle Owen is joined by Jay Harris, Michael Cox and Laia Cervelló Herrero to reflect on the first semi-final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023. Sweden, beaten finalists in 2003 and serial semi-finalists, took on last four debutants Spain and it was the Spanish who triumphed to reach their first ever Women’s World Cup final. The Athletic’s Laia Cervelló Herrero was at Eden Park in Auckland / Tāmaki Makaurau and told us what she thought just after the final whistle was blown. So Spain are the first side to book their place at the final at Stadium Australia in Sydney / Gadigal on Saturday 20th August. But who will join them?  Co-hosts Australia?  Or will it be England?  Producer: Steve Hankey Exec Producer: Abi Paterson Honorary Producer: Chloe the koala Learn more about your ad choices.

Abi Paterson is joined by Michael Cox and Harriet Drudge at Stadium Australia in Sydney / Wangal to reflect on the twenty-fourth day of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023. Up in the stands, Abi and Michael reflect on England’s 2-1 victory over Colombia which saw The Lionesses through to the semi finals.  We then descend depths of the stadium where Harriet Drudge catches up with England forward Bethany England. Australia booked their place in the semi-finals alongside England earlier today. The Matildas defeated France in one of the most dramatic penalty shootouts you’re ever likely to see. Tamerra Griffin was at the Brisbane stadium in Brisbane / Meeanjin and brought us the sense of drama at the final whistle. Abi, Michael and Harriet there reflect on this incredible victory for the co-hosts.
