    Episode 113 - Go Write History

    It was always going to happen wasn't it. After two cracking semi-finals, the stage is set. The two outstanding Euro 2022 teams face each other this Sunday at Wembley. On Tuesday, Sarina's Lionesses turned in the most convincing semi-final performance of any England team EVER. Not to be outdone, a clinical Germany brought some rare excitement to Milton Keynes by beating France 2-1 inspired by Alex Popp. We dive into reviews of both semi-finals, share our experiences of being at both games and, with some trepidation, preview the final!!
