Agyemang England’s Saviour | We’ve Done It Again | England vs Spain Showdown

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 11:05:55 GMT

We’re back for another incredible episode of Boots, Balls & Bras, powered by Pepsi Max – proud partner of the UEFA Women’s EUROs! I’m Fara Williams, just back from the stadium, and I'm joined by my amazing co-host Anita Asante, as we dive into an unforgettable week of Euros action!

The Lionesses have done it again! We react to the thrilling England v Italy semi-final:

SUPER SUBS DO IT AGAIN! Michelle Agyemang was truly England's Saviour! At just 19, she scored in two consecutive knockouts, now with three goals in four caps. What was the atmosphere like when she scored?

Chloe Kelly – the queen of the rebound – missed her penalty but netted the crucial follow-up!

Is England's bench their strongest asset? We debate if Agyemang or Kelly should start the final!

Tactical Breakdown: Why did England struggle early on against Italy’s disciplined defence? Was it a penalty? And how did Italy manage to frustrate the Lionesses in the first half?

Sarina Wiegman makes history, becoming the first-ever manager (men’s or women’s) to reach five major tournament finals in a row – what an achievement!

A special shout-out to Jess Carter for the incredible support and love she received from the fans – a true testament to the power of the women’s game!

Then, we switch gears to the other semi-final, Spain v Germany - REACTION! Spain are through to their first-ever Euros final after a 113th-minute winner from Bonmatí. Despite strong possession, did Germany’s defence earn respect? We discuss Spain’s vulnerabilities, which England will look to exploit.

Thanks for listening to BBB powered by Pepsi Max! Make sure you like, comment, and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Our next episode will be dropping after the Final, where myself and Neetz will be out in Switzerland reacting to the FINAL! Come on England!
