England lose on their Euros homecoming, Ireland smash Belgium, and goodbye Jess Fishlock

Chloe and Rachel are back from their escapades around Europe for a very international pod! And a certain very important England debut...

Chloe celebrates Khiara Keating's first appearance between the sticks for England, while Rach explains that - despite the 2-1 defeat against a VERY pumped Brazil - the Lionesses showed their teeth in this game. But one listener asks if England have an Alessia Russo problem.

Plus, Ireland bag a huge win in Dublin, mainly courtesy of Katie McCabe and partly courtesy of Nicky Evrard's back. And we give Jess Fishlock the goodbye she deserves by putting a topknot on the Wales dragon. Join us!
