On today’s pod: late drama and penalty shootout chaos in the FA Cup as Tottenham edge London City Lionesses in a 17-penalty epic to set up a quarter-final with holders Chelsea. The panel discusses Lize Kop’s heroics, Spurs’ resilience and what the result means for both clubs.
Elsewhere, Chelsea overcome Manchester United after extra time in a heavyweight rematch of last year’s final, Liverpool claim Merseyside derby bragging rights, and Birmingham and Charlton keep WSL 2 representation alive in the last eight. The panel also reflects on Chatham Town’s historic cup run and what the growing gap between the WSL and WSL 2 tells us about the current landscape.
Plus: Tom Garry explains why the FA’s controversial FA Cup restructuring proposals have been re-assessed, and the panel addresses concerns about domestic and international broadcast access.
In part two, attention turns to the international break. The panel previews the Asian Cup in Australia, assesses the Matildas’ chances under Joe Montemurro, highlights Japan and China’s prospects and looks ahead to the start of European World Cup qualification as England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland begin their campaigns.
