The Lionesses leave Leuven empty handed
Apr 09 2025 • 30 mins
Michelle Agyemang… WOW. Just wow. She had a night she will never forget, but England suffered a disappointing 3-2 defeat in Belgium. Rach can hear the alarm bells ringing already - but don’t panic, her and Chloe are very much on hand to bring the calm that’s needed in this special post-match reaction pod!
Plus, it’s safe to say Sazzy Wiegs has a selection headache to contend with ahead of Euro 2025, so we thought we’d help her out. We’ve picked our starting XI for that tough opener against France. Who’s in? And who’s out? Come and find out!

England run RIOT, Ireland return to winning ways & the UK looks set to host the 2035 World Cup!
Apr 08 2025 • 49 mins
The Lionesses put in a five star performance against Belgium on Friday… this obviously means they’re going to win the Euros now, right?! Rach reveals the player that impressed her the most while Clo tries to work out - once and for all - who’s starting in goal at the Euros.
We also turn our attention to Ireland - who put four past Greece - and then to Wales, who Clo reckons are like the Crystal Palace of the WSL. Plus, are Scotland out of their depth in League A? And how can Northern Ireland be more consistent?
Oh, and then we address the biggest news of all… the 2035 World Cup looks like it’s coming to the UK!! But wait a second, Manchester United’s new stadium could be part of the tournament? Er, what? Manchester United?

Meet the man who left Chelsea Women to lead World Sevens Football
Apr 03 2025 • 40 mins
For over a decade, Adrian Jacob has helped shape Chelsea into one of the most successful and dominant teams in the game. Today, he sits down with Rach to take us inside that journey - from what it was like working with Emma Hayes to some of the club’s biggest moments. He also gives his take on accusations that Chelsea have ‘spent’ their way to success and explains why it’s up to other clubs to catch up.
But Adrian’s next project is just as ambitious: World Sevens Football - the new, women’s seven-a-side tournament launching next month. He breaks down what his role as Head of Football actually involves, explains why this competition could be a game changer, and addresses concerns about its potential impact on player loading, calendar congestion and whether it could widen financial gaps in the game.
