About this episode
Mani Djazmi and Katie Smith are in Sydney and Maz Farookhi is in Auckland for the final week of the Women’s World Cup. Ahead of the first semi-final between Spain v Sweden, former Spain captain Verónica Boquete chats to Maz about what makes this Spanish team special despite the players' complex relationship with head coach Jorge Vilda.
We also hear from Sweden and Everton defender Nathalie Bjorn on the excitement back home and learning from their past tournament failures, and Australia midfielder Tameka Yallop says they're peaking at the right time as the Matildas face England in the second semi-final.
