| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the Arsenal Women Askcast on AskBlog.com with me, your host, Tim Stillman, with the World Champions Edition. |
| 0:21.7 | That is right, Arsenal Women, not satisfied with winning every other trophy lifted their 65th trophy in their 39th |
| 0:29.3 | year on Sunday evening as they were crowned champions of the world. Now, I think there is some |
| 0:34.5 | dispute over that precise branding, because we still have a Club World Cup to come in 2028, and I think that officially crowns the kind of World Club champions. |
| 0:43.2 | But it hasn't happened yet, and we're going to win that anyway, quite frankly. |
| 0:46.8 | So here to go over, I mean, the game, but there's quite a lot of stuff around the game after the game, new spilling out, left, right and centre, some of which will address in the second half in the questions. So here to go over all of that with me as ever as our co-host, Jamie Spanger. Jamie, how are you doing? Champions of the world, Tim, I'm running with it. I'm running with it until I can no longer run with it. |
| 1:10.9 | Because frankly, you can't really dispute it right now. No other team can go and say they're the |

| 1:35.5 | Fantastic time to be alive. Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean, like, no one can take it off us, |
| 1:41.5 | the world champions. Like, are you the world champions? No, you're not. |
| 1:44.4 | So go away. |
| 1:46.3 | But, I mean, just as a starter for 10, Jamie, like this tournament, it's really strange. |
| 1:52.9 | I did something on Friday for ESPN Brazil. |
| 1:56.9 | I don't know if it's out yet. |
| 1:59.6 | And if anyone's interested in it. I did it in Portuguese. So, |
| 2:02.9 | you know, might not understand it if you don't speak Portuguese, but, you know, just talking |
| 2:09.3 | about like where English and European fans place this. And obviously, I think for a lot of |
| 2:16.0 | footballing and cultural reasons, huge for Brazilian fans in |
| 2:19.4 | particular, to take on like the best of Europe and the US in particular. |
