Chloe and Rachel bring you a very special episode of Upfront ahead of the World Cup next Thursday! Our guest today - Carly Telford - has been to not one, not two, but THREE World Cups! So who better to tell us about how to prepare for a major tournament?

Chloe and Rachel sit down with Carly for a fascinating pod, where Carly reveals her formative conversation with the Lionesses No.1 Mary Earps, how England really prepare their goalkeepers for penalty shootouts, and why Sarina Wiegman is less of a harsh taskmaster than you might think!
