As we continue to close in on the Euros, we've got some questions. Like... are other countries having squad drama too? It turns out, yes!

Chloe and Rachel catch up over the latest international news, including some big calls in France, a big tweet in Spain, and a big f**k up with the kit in Wales.

Plus, Swiss football writer Craig King joins us to give the lowdown on the host's preparations – and there's big news from the WSL! It's official: the league will be expanding to 14 teams.

And breathe. It's all been kicking off in the Upfront WhatsApp group this past week - from Fran Kirby's retirement, to Millie Bright's shock announcement, to the actual bloomin' Euros squad itself! Chloe and Rachel are ready to react to it all.

They explain why Millie Bright should tell the haters to do one – while Clo is very excited about Michelle Agyemang's inclusion. But Rach has concerns about England's midfield...

Elsewhere, Ireland waved goodbye to a legend last week too in Louise Quinn! Clo explains how a dressing room adapts to the departure of a big personality. Plus, we give our honest thoughts on Robert Vilahamn's sacking – and why it took Spurs so long to make their decision.

Today, we’re joined by an absolute legend of the English game.

Steph Houghton remains one of the best defenders of all time and played over 120 times for England, captaining the Lionesses at two World Cups and a Euros.

She has just finished the UEFA A Licence course - the highest qualification a coach can receive - which qualifies her to coach in the WSL!

Will we be seeing her in the dugout soon? Rachel sat down with Steph to ask her about the future, her coaching philosophy and who her dream backroom staff would be!
