Hello and welcome to the Game World Cup podcast from The Times. I'm Natalie Sawyer.

We are down to the last four in France. Is it coming home?

Could England be crowned world champions of football for the first time since 1966.

The Lionesses have been here before and here to discuss whether they can make it

to their first ever final in the studio with me, the topman goalkeeper Chloe Morgan.

Down the line from

leon women's football reporter for the times Molly Hudson and from the times and

the Sunday times it's Rebecca Myers later on we'll be looking ahead to the second

semi-final between the Netherlands and Sweden.

But we start of course with the meeting of England and the Holders USA on Tuesday.

Rebecca, you wrote in the Sunday times about Phil Neville and how much he's fallen in love with the

women's game since his appointment 18 months ago.

It is a landmark day for the Lionesses and indeed then for Neville himself.

It really is and actually I've had incredible feedback to that piece from sort of just

members of the public expressing how much thing I'll still level.

It's probably not what I thought I would get you know first, first thing on a Sunday morning, but every single

reply to that, every single comment or tweet I've had has been people expressing their admiration

for his passion, which I think you can really see. That said, the pressure is on. He said himself at the weekend,

again in some day's paper he said he would consider a semi-final loss a failure. That's a huge thing to say ostensibly it's a success. He's

reached where they reached four years ago. He's in a much harder field than

ever before. So technically it is a success but he clearly will not see it as one unless they go through which

yeah is is a lot of pressure to put on himself.
