Caro Futsal Podcast #53

In this episode I’m going solo again to take you through all the action from the quarter-finals of the FIFA Women’s Futsal World Cup. We had some big performances, a few surprises, and plenty of goals.

I talk through each game, the players who stepped up, and how the top scorers list is looking after the quarters. Emilly’s hat-trick, Irene Córdoba’s consistency, and a standout game from Lídia Moreira — it’s all in here.

I’ll also give you my honest take on the semifinals coming up and who I think will make it to the final. (Spoiler: I’m backing Brazil and Portugal.)

Quick episode packed with info — let’s go!
