Episodes
Chloe and Rachel have just about peeled themselves off their ceilings in time to for our FINAL show of Euro 2025! And it's a big one...
Back by popular demand, it's our first-ever Upfront Awards for a major tournament! Who is our Player of the Tournament? What was Chloe's spiciest moment (possibly sponsored by Nandos)? And what was Rach's favourite snap?
We also discuss the impact of England's victory and how it compares to 2...
Rach's head has gone, Chloe's voice has gone – but we don't care! We look back on an incredible night for the Lionesses and English football.
From Chloe Kelly's aura, to Leah Williamson and Jess Carter's masterclass, to Michelle Agyemang and her 22 older sisters... we're reliving it all the morning after the night before!

It's here: England, the defending champions, take on Spain, the world champions. Chloe and Rachel are joined by England legend and BBC co-commentator Rachel Brown-Finnis to look ahead to what promises to be an extraordinary final.
They discuss England's journey and the media narratives that have swirled around it – plus, RBF reveals what she would tell these England players to unlock that Spain defence. We also find out about th...
Aitana Bonmatí settled it with a cheeky moment of magic last night – but has a poor game left us feeling more optimistic about England's chances?
Chloe and Rachel discuss a tale of two goalkeepers and how Germany managed to restrict Spain so effectively. Plus, we answer your burning questions ahead of the final on Sunday!
Will Wiegman change her starting XI? Will England thrive without the ball? And has Chloe's imperson...
What's good for England after the 80th minute isn't good for Rach's ulcerative colitis. But seriously: WHAT A GAME, WHAT A NIGHT!
Chloe and Rachel sit down with hoarse voices to relive England's comeback win against Italy and celebrate Michelle Agyemang's calmness beyond her years, Chloe Kelly's 'it's me' mentality, and some absolute much-needed grit.
We also salute Italy's run (but not some of their - ahem - dark arts) and a...
Thought England vs Sweden was going to be the most chaotic game of the quarter-finals? Well last night Germany said: "hold my stein".
Chloe and Rachel relive another extraordinary penalty shootout and discuss how France managed to mess it up against 10 players for over 100 minutes.
Plus, Spain knocked the Swiss out – but the vibes were unrivalled. Rach tells us all about the atmosphere on Friday night!
One of the most emotional, chaotic, frustrating, heartbreaking, joyous matches you will ever see... but England are through!
Chloe and Rachel take a breath and try to work out what happened on an extraordinary night in Zurich! Like... why did Sweden's keeper take their fifth pen!?
Join us for a very, very necessary debrief!

Italy are back in the semi-finals of the Euros for the first time since 1997! And what a night for the ultimate national team captain, Cristiana Girelli. Just please ignore the fact that she's the same age as us.
Chloe and Rachel relive a chaotic first quarter-final, which featured the most short-lived redemption arc for Ada Hegerberg and one of the best dugout-emptying goal celebrations you will ever see. Then, we look ahead to...
Now the group stages are done and dusted, Chloe and Rachel take stock of everything they've seen (and smelt) so far.
What's been our favourite moment? Which nations and teams have surprised us? And will UEFA ever award a Swedish Player of the Match correctly?
Plus, Barcelona-based presenter and friend of the pod Alex Ibaceta joins us! She gives us the lowdown on Alexia Putellas' incredible form and rising expectations among t...
England dispelled any nerves with an absolute goal-fest against the Welsh last night! Chloe and Rachel are here to celebrate their progress and - in particular - the peformance of Toooooney!
It wasn’t to be for the Dutch though, as they wave goodbye to Euro 2025 with Viv Miedema not even setting foot on the pitch against France. We’re already waiting for the Andries Jonkers tell-all podcast...
Rach gets back down from her latest romantic stroll up a mountain to chat with Chlo as the group stages draw to a close. We’ve got more quarter-finalists locked in as Spain, Italy and Switzerland all extended their stay - but a poor Portugal and an unfortunate Finland bow out.
Join us as we look over those games and preview England’s showdown with Wales - plus, with some quality players seeing their teams get knocked out, we unv...
WHAT a performance from England! A jubilant Chloe and delighted (but knackered) Rachel recap a brilliant night for the Lionesses who delivered when it really mattered against the Netherlands.
Elsewhere, Wales suffered a tough loss to France but there were so many positives for Rhian Wilkinson’s side to draw on. We get stuck into those matches and look ahead to tonight, where we’ve got our first qualification shootout of the tour...
Wait, SIX goals by Spain this time?! Chloe and Rachel recap another dominant Spain win, even if they think there might be a few gaps that better teams than Belgium could have exploited.
They also celebrate a last-minute equaliser for Portugal that kept them in the tournament, wonder if Germany and Sweden can book their spots in the next round and preview the small matter of England vs Netherlands - can the Lionesses save their t...
Yep, sadly that wasn't just a nightmare. England did lose last night. But need a bit of reassurance? We got you.
Chloe and Rachel discuss everything that went down in Zurich – from that promising first 15 minutes, to France's dominance on the flanks and in midfield. What happened? And what needs to change?
Plus, we discuss Wales' tough debut against the Netherlands, which included perhaps the most chaotic planned goal celebra...
Spain are HERE. They announced their arrival in Switzerland with a brutal 5-0 thrashing of Portugal. And they've got a perfect 18-year-old replacement for Aitana Bonmatí? Well that's just not fair.
Chloe and Rachel sit down to reflect on Day Two at the Euros and look ahead to Germany's showdown with Poland tonight – plus, Rach has cutting edge insight from the Wankdorf Stadium...
Euro 2025 is finally underway! Switzerland got off to a great start in their opening game against Norway, but a bit of quality (and luck!) meant Ada Hegerberg n’ co emerged victorious. Rach was at the game, so we'll hear her reaction to some impressive performances from the Swiss team and those doing the (slightly odd) opening ceremony.
Plus, we chat Finland’s scrappy but vital win against Iceland and look ahead to what should b...
The Lionesses said farewell with the perfect performance against Jamaica – and Chloe was there to watch it!
Clo and Rach look ahead to England's tournament and take a closer look at the Lionesses rivals in Group D, aka the Official Group of Death...

Join the Official Upfront Euro 2025 Fantasy League here!
The Euros are finally here! In the first of our two-part Euros preview, Clo and Rach take a (nervous) look at Groups A, B and C!
Rach explains why people need to be worried seriously about Germany, Chloe doffs her cap to Iceland's giant goalkeeper, and we ask the eternal question of every major tournament: why can't Norway make things click?!
Plus, Chloe gets booed at Glastonbury. We need answers...
Eight days to go until the Euros, people! England will kick off their campaign against France on July 5th, so today Chloe and Rachel are putting themselves in Sazzy Wiegs' shoes once more: we're picking our final England starting XI!
What's changed? Why do we think – even without Millie Bright – that England have the perfect centre-half combo? And who's in that number 10 role?
Plus, Chloe is buzzing for England's first ...
As we continue to close in on the Euros, we've got some questions. Like... are other countries having squad drama too? It turns out, yes!
Chloe and Rachel catch up over the latest international news, including some big calls in France, a big tweet in Spain, and a big f**k up with the kit in Wales.
Plus, Swiss football writer Craig King joins us to give the lowdown on the host's preparations – and there's big news from the WSL...
