Who's in, who's not? Other news and things to watch for at the 2023 Women's World Cup. I sit down with Assile Toufaily, former Lebanon National Team Player and Host of the podcast Super Subs and Tom, all around footie fanatic, to talk about the tournament and some of the off the pitch stories which you may not have heard of. And of course we make our predictions based on facts, theories and that feeling in the pit of our stomach where we just know, beyond all reason, that if the impossible can happen anywhere, it's the World Cup.

The true story of an amazing woman.
