In this episode, LDG discusses the historic campaign of the Italian women's national team (Le Azzurre) at the 2025 Euros, and what the future of Italian women's football is looking like.

He starts by discussing the status quo of domestic women's football in Italy before the Euros, talking about the national team's prior results and Serie A Femminile's stature.

He reintroduces the context of the Euros by sharing a soundbite he recorded after the final whistle of the Italy-England semifinal blew, then discusses the outlook for the Italian team.

He discusses Italian players transferring to leagues such as the NWSL, WSL, and Frauen-Bundesliga, and includes a clip of Sofia Cantore talking about her move to the Washington Spirit/how she is adjusting to the NWSL.

He examines how these transfers may impact the national team and outlines the systemic changes needed in Serie A Femminile and Italian women's football for continued progress.
