September 12, 2022 40 - Amalie Vangsgaard
Amalie Vangsgaard is the Danish striker that currently can't seem to stop scoring in the 2022 season in the Damallsvenskan. She plays for Linköping FC and has put herself in an excellent position to win the Golden Boot with 18 goals scored so far, with seven rounds left to play. The 25-year-old recently made her senior national team debut, although many might have been surprised since Vangsgaard stopped playing professional football a few years back because she was tired of it. The break lasted for two years. What made her come back to the game, and how does she explain the current success? This and a lot more in this week's episode of Their Pitch!

In the 7th Euro 2022 Special, Mia Eriksson and Willie Kirk are joined by two journalists and women's football experts in their respective countries; Tom Garry from The Telegraph in England and Jasmina Schweimler, a freelancer from Germany.

Tom might have to regret his words from the preview episode where he predicted that Germany wouldn't make it from the group, and Jasmina is very happy that he got it all wrong.

Willie says that the quarter-final between France and Germany is one of the best games he has ever seen, and he also feels a bit sorry for Peter Gerhardsson and Sweden.
