Michelle Owen is joined by Mark Carey and Tamerra Griffin to reflect on the twenty-third day of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.

Japan had won hearts and minds with their adaptable, swash-buckling style to be the surprise package of this tournament.

Spain continued their chaotic course through this tournament by knocking out The Netherlands to advance to their first ever Women’s World Cup semi-final. 

Plus we look ahead to the final quarter finals on Saturday: Australia vs France and England against Colombia.
