The final is set and it's a rematch of the 2023 WWC! How did we get here? Sara and Allie dive into both semi-finals, starting off with England vs. Italy. What is with England's new trend of a terrible first 45? Was it actually a pen and is that even worth discussing?

Next, it's Germany vs. Spain as this was the first time in the history of the Women's Euros that BOTH semi-finals went to Extra Time.

It's QUARTERFINALLLSSSS TIME! 4 games and we are left with 4 remaining teams. Penalties dominated, but did any pens really DOMINATE? Sara is joined by Amy O'Connor as a guest host to break down all four games and of course preview both semi-final matchups. How in the world did Germany pull that off and are they too battered to defeat the reigning World Cup champs? Why was England's first half so different than their second, and what did Sarina's note say? (Lol just kidding). Is an untested Spain weaker than we think? And hear Sara make the case for how Italy can beat England! Our next episode covering the Semi-Finals will drop on THURSDAY as usual. Follow us on socials @theWOSOshow.

Ahead of Thursday's Sweden vs. England Quarterfinal, we're giving you the 'Thursday' episode a bit early! This will be an incredible listen before or after the England match, as we sit down with Carrie Dunn - a sports writer - who has covered Women’s World Cups, Women’s Euros as well as domestic competitions over the last two decades, and is a regular voice on BBC radio as well as The Athletic's Women's Football Podcast. We had the pleasure of sitting down with her before the EUROS kicked off to talk about her new book 'Flying the Flag: The Footballing Heroines of the Home Nations Who Made History Abroad'. The book chronicles the pioneering women of British football who sacrificed careers, friends, and familiar surroundings to pursue their sporting dreams abroad. It's a wonderful book about the women whose names we should all know just as well as Lucy Bronze and Leah Williamson, who are true pioneers of the sport we love so much - women's football.
