Women’s Football Weekly: Lionesses to face Matildas in semi-final clash | Football

On today’s pod: We have our semi-finalists.

England come from behind to knock out Colombia. It was scrappy, but it resilient, professional performance from the Lionesses. They’ll face co-hosts Australia in the semi-finals. The Matildas needed penalty shootout against France to progress to the last four of the World Cup for the first time in their history.

Spain required extra time to beat the Netherlands. They’ll face Sweden, who beat one of the most exciting teams in the tournament, 2011 champions Japan. So that means there will be a new nation etched on the trophy, but who will it be? The panel make their predictions.
