Upfront - A Women's Football Podcast

As domestic football finally returns to our screens this weekend, Chloe and Rachel are not ready to leave international pastures just yet. They discuss the Lionesses' professional win against Iceland and how Lucy Bronze proved her value for this England team (like she ever needed to).

Goal's lead women's football writer Ameé Ruszkai joins us to give the lowdown on all things Asian Cup, after the group stages finished today. And will Man United finally put some Chelsea ghosts to rest and win their first League Cup? Well, there's a footlong sub on the line either way...

We're on the road to the 2027 Brazil World Cup! And after 45 minutes of knocking the ball about, England hit the road in style.

Chloe and Rachel look back on the Lionesses' 6-1 win over Ukraine, which featured some interesting personnel and some vintage Georgia Stanway. Plus, a stark reminder of why World Cup qualification is so hard this year, WAFCON gets officially postponed less than two weeks before it was supposed to start (we know, right), and a heartbreaking defeat for Ireland against France. Rach was there and tells us more!

Chloe and Rachel whizz through a bumper FA Cup weekend, where we saw a glimpse of the Chelsea we’re used to after their impressive win against Man United. A cracking Sam Kerr goal wasn’t a bad way to commemorate her 150th appearance, either!

In other FA Cup business, we react to the news that next season’s controversial format changes have been delayed. Plus, we’re joined by Oxford United goalkeeper Maddison Millington-Stanbury to chat about the club’s dream FA Cup journey, her career ambitions and how football continues to be a safe haven in light of her autism diagnosis.

Yes, Villa fans, we know you lost 7-3 at Villa Park... But PLEASE don’t start panicking about Natalia Arroyo. Everything’s fine, it was just a mad game...

Elsewhere, we review a near-perfect week for Man United - even if Jim Ratcliffe seems intent on spoiling it. Plus, after the controversy around Eni Aluko this week, we chat about representation and inclusion within punditry across the women’s game.
