On this week’s episode of the Joy of Football Podcast, Martin and Neil celebrate the Lionesses' Victory (yet again) at the Euros! What a team, what a coach, what a roller coasters. We take a deep dive into the inspiring journey that Sarina Wiegman and her team team have gone on in Switzerland and how it has capped an amazing summer of sports in England!
Then it's Three of the Best, looking at players with a Transfer Window theme- Including Neil's disappointment that Noni Madueke has left Chelsea, followed by comparisons, which looks at players within the English sides in this coming season's UEFA Champions League (Past and Present). Some real legends of the game in there!
And we finish with Martin's Letter from the Gantry that looks ahead to, and back on, the Community Shield.
