About this episode

The episode discusses England's impressive win over Ukraine, the postponement of WAFCON, and Ireland's defeat against France.

We're on the road to the 2027 Brazil World Cup! And after 45 minutes of knocking the ball about, England hit the road in style. Chloe and Rachel look back on the Lionesses' 6-1 win over Ukraine, which featured some interesting personnel and some vintage Georgia Stanway. Plus, a stark reminder of why World Cup qualification is so hard this year, WAFCON gets officially postponed less than two weeks before it was supposed to start (we know, right), and a heartbreaking defeat for Ireland against France.
