Summary

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Natalie Gedra, Matt Davies-Adams and Charlotte Harpur reflect on the incredible Lionesses retaining the European Championship.

With their backs against the wall for pretty much the whole tournament, Sarina’s side eventually overcome world champions Spain on penalties. We pay tribute to Kelly, Bronze and co and ponder what the legacy of yet more success will be for England.

Jubilation in Nottingham too where Morgan Gibbs-White, on his way to Spurs just a couple of weeks ago, signs a new contract at the City Ground. Plus Alexander Isak to Liverpool - the stuff of madmen’s dreams?

Elsewhere, reports indicate that West Ham's Lucas Paqueta might not face a lifetime ban for spot-fixing.

Plus when City signed Aguero, when Inter signed Keane, what’s going on at the Copa América Femenina and what to look out for in the EFL?

Produced by Charlie Jones.
