Michelle Owen is joined by Jay Harris, Michael Cox and Laia Cervelló Herrero to reflect on the first semi-final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.
Sweden, beaten finalists in 2003 and serial semi-finalists, took on last four debutants Spain and it was the Spanish who triumphed to reach their first ever Women’s World Cup final.
The Athletic’s Laia Cervelló Herrero was at Eden Park in Auckland / Tāmaki Makaurau and told us what she thought just after the final whistle was blown.
So Spain are the first side to book their place at the final at Stadium Australia in Sydney / Gadigal on Saturday 20th August.
But who will join them? 
Co-hosts Australia? 
Or will it be England?
