In this second episode of the season, Lewis starts by examining Group A of the Women's Euros (2:33), investigating the ways in which England, Norway, Austria and Northern Ireland can try to make a splash in the tournament proper and looking in-depth at the styles of play and danger areas of each team involved ahead of the opening match kicking off at Old Trafford on the 6th July. Afterwards, the so-called 'summer leagues' of Norway (25:36), Sweden (42:00) and the Republic of Ireland (57:46) were each touched on - the tightly-knit title races in the two Scandinavian nations were put under the spotlight, including two surprise league-leaders at the time of recording, while the mastery of the sales market was paid attention to for the section on the League of Ireland in the wake of the sale of Gavin Bazunu from Manchester City to Southampton that has fuelled the coffers of the table-toppers even more. Finally, the Spanish Segunda playoffs are finally complete and the identity of the third team to achieve promotion to LaLiga is now known (1:07:57), with key tactical details of every game throughout the series discussed and how the 5th-placed and 6th-placed teams prevailed to reach the final once again.
