Megan America Great Again. Rapino leads the USA to World Cup glory. We'll look back on an amazing month in France with Kate Borsay from the Offside Rule podcast. In the Copper America, Brazil, Peruve to be too much for the nation with the best kit and football. There's also a red card for Leo Messi.

0:21.4

I was in my 20s last time that happened.

0:23.8

And in Africa, the second most amazing story about Madagascar continues to develop.

0:28.8

Sadly, this one remains bereft of wisecracking militarised penguins, but it's still pretty good.

0:34.0

Plus, Frank Lampard finally takes Romans' reigns at Chelsea.

0:37.3

Paul Pogba is still at Man United, and Gary Monk, we'll leave that until we've spoken to the lawyers. I'm Ian McIntosh, and this is the Totally Football Show.

It's a big hello to Optus, Duncan Alexander. Hi, Ian. Hello, how are you? Yeah, good, thanks. Excellent. Alvaro Romeo is here. Commentator for Talk Sport International. Hello, how are you? Yeah, not as good as you. You're just back off holiday, aren't you? Yes, two weeks in Greece. When I went there, they have the Chippras as a prime prime minister and today they have a new one.

and Spanish coaches that there are. It's unbelievable.

1:31.1

US wins your fourth World Cup. Yep, the USA retain their crown as women's World Cup champions, beating the Dutch 2-0 in the final in Leon on Sunday.

2:24.5

Day before that, England lost 2-1 to Sweden in the third, fourth place playoff,

2:34.0

So, how was the tournament overall? And what next for the women's game?
