WE'RE GOING TO A FINAL! In this episode we discuss the history moment we found out the Lionesses had made it to their first ever Women's World Cup final and our predictions for the match against Spain. In this bumper episode, some key moments we discuss are: How the Lionesses are rewriting the narrative of what "English football" means. What a female footballer "looks like" and are we finally breaking the stereotype? "Cute football" and other feminine adjectives, why are there so many in the women's game? You can't have a team of 11 Alessia Russo's, you need an Alex Greenwood and a Mary Earps. It's a bit like the school playground where you only knew a couple of footballers so thought they were the best, regardless of if you'd seen them play or not. Has the bright light of Sam Kerr faded slightly? ALL players in the World Cup giving children, boys and girls, all over the world new role models. Do we miss the Chloe Kelly we saw in the Euros? Or do we like her new role better in this tournament? Catch 22: If Spain win, the players will have deserved it. If Spain win, HE and the federation get the credit.
