Box2Box - Tracey Holmes as Matildas ascend again, Charlotte Harpur sets up Lionesses clash
Rob Gilbert and Michael Edgley are joined by The ABC's Tracey Holmes as the Matildas story ascends to new levels - victory over France in an agonising seventeen-minute shootout, drawing unprecedented public support and putting them into the semi-finals. Tracey has covered the Matildas for decades, and couldn't be prouder.
The next opponent are England's Lionesses - The Athletic's Charlotte Harpur returns with Sarina Weigman's side still yet to find their best at the tournament, most-recently coming from behind to defeat Colombia 2-1 in the quarter-finals. Rob and Derek Dyson ascertain the confidence levels of the old enemy.
Astronomical television numbers, Barnaby Joyce's all-time howler and more adoration of Herve Renard are all on the agenda, as is Ange Postecoglou's Premier League debut and another Andrew Redmayne penalty masterclass.
Join us for Stoppage Time on Friday, as we re-group following the semi-finals and look ahead to the weekend's deciders.
