| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Up Front. I'm Clay Morgan. |
| 0:19.5 | And I'm Rachel Sullivan. |
| 0:23.2 | It was never in doubt. |
| 0:35.7 | Question mark, question mark, question mark. England beats Sweden on penalties last night in one of the most emotional, chaotic, frustrating, heartbreaking, joyous matches you will ever, ever see. We're going to try and figure out what the hell happened from the atrocious first half to Chloe Kelly and Michelle Adjimang's heroic. So stay tuned for the full debrief. |
| 0:44.3 | And of course, we'll be previewing Spain versus Switzerland too, I guess. |
| 0:51.3 | We won the course of finals, but let's get stuck into how we won it, because this was not the way that I thought we were going to be dissecting the game. |
| 1:03.7 | And whilst I'm incredibly jubilant and incredibly happy about the outcome, the way in which it happened gives me so much fear and concern for any |

| 2:00.0 | Seriously concerned that I might have another ulster of colitis flare up, which I'd really rather avoid. I haven't had one since 2014. I've been in remission since and I'd quite like it to stay that way. So if that happens, I'm going to be very, very annoyed. Someone will be getting a letter or strongly worded tweet or something because yeah I just found like |
| 2:18.5 | I don't know about you but just couldn't sleep last night like my brain just felt like just very |

| 2:28.7 | mind-numbing TV for half an hour or listen to some lighthearted podcast that I've already listened to and |
