Rebecca Myers is a journalist for The Times and a prominent voice in Women's Sport, she joined Andrea to give a match report and described some of her favourite moments.

What will the legacy of last night\\u2019s Women\\u2019s Euro 2022 be? The former lioness and second highest goal scorer for England Kelly Smith joins Andrea Catherwood alongside Dame Heather Rabbatts, Dame Heather was the first female board member of the Football Association when she joined in 2012.

We will also discuss the grass roots of the game and what more oppurtunities could be given to girls who want to play at school and beyond, Andrea speaks to Baroness Sue Campbell the Director of Women\\u2019s Football at the FA.

David Kogan negotiated the sale of the TV rights for the Women\\u2019s Super League and is a long time advisor to the FA, he joins Andrea to discuss what next for the business side of the sport.

Neither the Wales nor Scotland women\\u2019s football teams qualified for the Euro 2022 tournament, but will England\\u2019s victory, and Northern Ireland\\u2019s involvement in the group stages, be a boost for all the nations of the UK?
