Michelle Agyemang… WOW. Just wow. England may have suffered a disappointing 3-2 defeat in Belgium last night, but she was the real winner. Rach can hear the alarm bells ringing already - but don’t panic, she’s very much on hand to bring the calm that’s needed.

Plus, it’s safe to say Sazzy Wiegs has a selection headache to condend with ahead of Euro 2025. So we thought we’d help her out a touch. We’ve picked our starting XI for that tough opener against France. Who’s in? And who’s out? Come and find out!

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?

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.
