A big week in football with lots to talk about, a couple of jokers and many Queens of the Week. All the B90 podcast crew (Eric, Dale, Cheryl, Steffen and Maj) get together to spin around the world, while Nanako Sasaki’s scoop pass gets plenty of airtime. Plus at the end, we share some post-match audio from Ante Juric, Ash Wilson and Gemma Lewis.
