Box2Box, with Rob Gilbert and Derek Dyson!

Rob and Willem van Denderen are joined by ESPN's Joey Lynch, with the Matildas in rare form on the eve of the Women's World Cup. A fourth consecutive win against Top 10-ranked opposition has the nation dreaming - Joey runs his objective eye over the side's chances.

On the other side of the equation is the Republic of Ireland, who's manager and recent clash with Colombia have sparked separate controversies. Gary Connaughton of Balls.Ie joins Rob and Derek with an Irish perspective of Thursday's opener.

Outside of the World Cup there's still plenty on the agenda, including Anger Postecoglou's opening press conferences at Spurs, and Arsenal's deal to sew up Declan Rice. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
