The Euro 2025 group stage is over. And on the final day, England cruised past Wales 6-1 to clinch a place in the quarterfinals, with France going through as Group D winners after a chaotic 5-2 thrashing of the Netherlands.

On the third edition of Full Time Euros, host Jillian Sakovits is joined by Tamerra Griffin and Ali Rampling to break down the final round of group stage matches and say goodbye to the eight nations heading home after 12 breathless days of international soccer.

What does it mean for Aitana Bonmati to be back starting for Spain? Why do Sweden have the best fans? And, what made Switzerland's qualifying night so special?

Charlotte Harpur also calls into the podcast from St. Gallen, to report on how head coach Sarina Wiegman and her England players reacted to their big win over Wales, and what life has been like inside the camp in Zurich.

We are in the thick of the ‘Summer of Soccer’ – from the UEFA Women’s Euros, to CAF's Women’s African Cup of Nations, to FIFA's Men’s Club World Cup, and with the NWSL set to return on August 2nd – it is all happening. And, as I’m sure you’re experiencing, the summers are fraught with extreme heat, hurricanes, storms and droughts…and yet, the soccer still goes on.

On this week's Full Time, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan to dive a little bit deeper into how the NWSL and global soccer intends to keep up with climate change – how can leagues, teams and governing bodies adapt to climate? Who does the responsibility fall on? And, how will soccer look in the future? To help do that, the podcast enlisted the help of climate sports researcher, and author of the book ‘Warming Up: How Climate is Changing Sport’, Dr, Madeleine Orr.

What a response from England. With the Lionesses Euro 2025 title hopes on the line, they bounced back from an opening match defeat to France to thrash the Netherlands 4-0 on Matchday 2 of the group stage.

On the second edition of Full Time Euros, Charlotte Harpur joins the podcast from Zurich to break down how England produced one of the best performances of the Sarina Wiegman era. Did the outside pressure ever reach the players? What makes Lauren James so special? And, what tactical adjustments did Wiegman get so right?

And, Cerys Jones has the latest from Groups A and C, where Norway, Germany and Sweden pushed on but not without critiques and the hosts, Switzerland, continued to entertain.
