On the eve of the Women's World Cup, we discuss Karen Carney's landmark review into domestic women's football.

Carney joins the podcast panel to outline her plan to drive investment and growth by creating two fully professional leagues, better grassroots facilities, a regular TV slot - and much more.

Panel: Katie Smith, Emma Sanders, Karen Carney, Siobhan Chamberlain

Producer: Sam Sheringham
