Episode notes

As the 2022 Euros reach the semi-final stages, Charlotte Marsh and Anton Toloui are back to have a look at the two enticing games coming up this week.

Firstly, hosts England take on Sweden on Tuesday, but what can the Lionesses expect from the No 2-ranked side in the world?

Germany then face France on Wednesday, with two differing styles – one of pragmatism and efficiency and the other of free-flowing and sometimes chaotic play – clashing at the Stadium MK.

Plus, Charlotte and Anton discuss a tight quarter-final stage and whether they will have an impact on the final four.
