England Women's National Team Ready to Take Play-offs to the 2027 World Cup

Ellen White, Jen Beattie and Ben Haines come together for the last time this season to discuss the June international break which saw England miss out on automatic qualification for the 2027 Women's World Cup. Ellen and Jen reflect on the crucial defeat to world champions Spain in Mallorca, which ultimately resulted in the Lionesses missing out on top spot in the A3 League. They are also evaluating a new qualification process in Europe that only provides four direct qualification places at the end of the league phase. Meanwhile, Scotland managed to finish top of group B4 after achieving back-to-back wins against Israel. Jen praised captain Caroline Weir for her brilliant performances in both games, plus comments from Claire Emslie who spoke to BBC Radio Scotland after returning to the national team for the first time since giving birth to her son, Jamie, in December. And with the 2025/26 season over, the summer transfer window has only just begun. The team is predicting an unprecedented summer transfer window and names that could shake up the WSL.
