Eilidh Barbour is joined by former England internationals Izzy Christiansen and Gilly Flaherty to reflect on Spain's 2-0 win over hosts Switzerland in the Women's Euros quarter-finals in Bern. They also look ahead to tomorrow's quarter-final between France and Germany in Basel, as well as reflecting on England's victory over Sweden on penalties on Thursday. Topics: 00:36 - Spain stutter into semis 05:28 - Hosts Switzerland bow out 10:11 - France v Germany preview 15:38 - England v Sweden reflections 21:24 - Will Italy trouble England? 23:06 - Who are the favourites out of the final five? BBC Sounds / 5 Live commentaries: Sat - 2000 - QF4 - France v Germany Tue - 2000 - SF1 - Italy v England Wed - 2000 - SF2 - Spain v France/Germany

Lauren Harris joins James to preview The Women's European Championships that kick off in Switzerland tomorrow, and England's Lionesses will be among the favourites. But they haven't been helped by the draw and England are at risk of an early elimination should things go badly from a Group that also contains France, The Netherlands and Wales. The lopsided nature of the draw means Spain should breeze through to the Semi Finals and it does guarantee one of the lesser nations reach the final four. To get to that stage England won't have to just navigate their Group of Death, but also a likely Quarter Final against Sweden or Germany, the two sides England beat to lift this trophy three years ago. All 16 nations covered, best players to keep an eye on, England's likely line up for their opener on Saturday and there are two Fantasy formats on the tournament covered too.

England exercise real control and relaxation in their opening game as they defeat Croatia at Wembley. A great day for Phillips and Mings as Southgate’s team selection is completely vindicated.

Scotland’s first tournament game in 23 years is against the Czech Republic on Monday. The most important game they’ll play in this group stage?
